Hradiště Řípec

Quiet energetically positive and historic place and without tourists

Řípec Hill is located between the villages of Trpoměchy and Královice. It is a small, yet visible basalt heap from a distance. The fortifications around the hill were identified by aerial prospecting. The moat circled the hill a little behind its foot from the west, south, and east. In the north it adjoins the northern edge of the terrain (tectonic fault). Verification research showed a 2 - 2.5 meter wide and relatively shallow flat-bottom ditch dated to the younger phase of the Hallstatt period. The eastern course of the moat with an interruption was traced using a magnetometer. The moat was broken several times. The length of the longest roughly west-east axis reaches less than 500 meters. The total length of the fence is almost 750 meters. Finds from the Eneolithic period also come from the locality. The hill toép Řípec is located between the villages Trpoměchy and Královice. It is a small basalt pile, yet clearly visible from a distance. By air prospecting the fortification around the hill was identified here.

Verified research has demonstrated a 2 - 2.5 meter wide and relatively shallow ditch with a flat bottom dated to the younger phase of the Hallstatt period. The east course of the ditch with the interruption was traced using a magnetometer. The ditch was interrupted several times. The length of the longest west-east axis is less than 500 meters. The total length of the enclosure reaches almost 750 meters. From the site comes the finds of the Eneolithic Age.
