| Description | Within the study of digital orthophotos, we succeeded in identifying remains of an outer ditch in the deserted medieval village "Vsisko" (c.d. Dolní Bojanovice), as well as smaller and larger crop marks indicating the presence of a settlement inside the enclosed area. These potential archaeological components concentrate around a linear feature that passes through the center of the village, which could be interpreted as a possible remnant of the historical path. A circular area, formed by two ditches, about 25 m in diameter was identified North of the deserted village and interpreted as a remnant of a small moated site. Based on these findings, a two-phase geophysical survey was carried out on both locations, revealing the fortification of the village from two directions. In addition, the survey partly revealed the village's ground plan, confirming the fortification in the form of a double ditch of the nearby moated site. |
