Abstract
The site Crkvišće is located on the naturally protected incline on the Mrežnice river bend. The plateau, which slightly inclines towards the north, is in the shape of an irregular triangle (the length of the western
side is around 110 meters, the northeast around 80 meters and the southeast side is around 85 meters) and is naturally protected from the west by a steep slope which descends toward the Mrežnica River canyon.
The remains of a single-nave church with a semi-circular apse are located on the northern, the highest and most dominant part of the plateau. The landscape clearly shows the vista of a protective wall, with a width
of around 2m, which protected the plateau from the eastern and northern side, while traces of loose stones on the western side open up the possibility that this side was also additionally strengthened by a wall.
