One hundred and thirty-seven sites dated to the Iron Age have been registered in northern regions of Nitrianska pahorkatina hills and adjacent slopes of Považský Inovec and Tribeč hills. Sixty-eight of them (nine hill forts, four positions with grave units and fifty-five settlements) were dated to the Early Iron Age. The settlement was concentrated on the Nitra river stream; the most intensive one was documented within the area among Topoľčany, Nedanovce and Veľký Klíž. According to the recent knowledge, the Nitra river right bank seems to be unsettled (with the exception of upper Hlavinka brook area). Majority of sites are representing a background of eight hill forts. Sixty-nine sites (four hill forts, one grave unit and sixty-four settlements) were dated to the Late Iron Age. In this period the settlement was concentrated on both the Nitra river stream and its right bank – the Radošinka and Perkovský brooks. The space among Topoľčany, Nedanovce and Veľký Klíž was settled only sparsely in that period. The role of hill forts in the La Tène period was quite different from that in the Hallstatt period. While in the Early Iron Age hill forts had worked as defence and protection points for population, in the Late Iron Age they became trading centres.
