Preliminary report presents both past and most recent archaeological excavations at the hillfort in Divinka. Located in the mountainous region of northwest Slovakia, this hillfort was inhabited during the three historical periods. The article briefly deals with the endmost, Early Medieval Period, more precisely the younger stage of the Great Moravian Period. The separate components of the hillfort, settlement features and the construction of its rampart are defined. The dating to the younger stage of the Great Moravian Period is based on select decorated metal artefacts (ring, fitting with neck and loop and three spurs). The result of the radiocarbon dating of the rampart of the outer bailey makes it possible to specify the time of its construction from the end of the 9th to the first three decades of the 10th century.
