The topic of this article is presentation of use of the latest (non-destructive) methods of identification, recording and detailed documentation of selected terrain relics of historical fortified settlements in the Kostolianska kotlina basin and its surroundings. Comparing new knowledge obtained by means of modern methods with results of our own terrain prospecting and currently known (previously published) information outside our investigation, a new picture of individual relics is created. We deal with the prehistoric hillfort of Veľký Tribeč and relics of medieval fortified settlements – a medieval hillfort in Velčice and a medieval fortified settlement of Studený hrad.
