Sažetak

In May 2023, the Institute of Archaeology conducted an archaeological excavation at the Gradišče Castle near Margečan. Located on an elevated position on Cukovec Hill above the Bednja River, the castle features an elongated oval layout with a square tower on its eastern side. The excavations involved digging a 1-m-wide trench extending from the northern to the southern wall in the western part of the castle, along with a smaller rectangular trench in the central area. Portions of the northern and southern walls were uncovered, and fragments of prehistoric (Bronze Age) and late medieval ceramics were found in the layers, which confirmed previous conjectures about the site but did not enable a more precise dating of the castle. Unfortunately, the remains of the interior structures were not uncovered during this latest research, leaving unresolved questions about the exact dating and period of use of this castle.
