The complex archaeological prospection was realized in the Lontov district during the year 2016. The main aim of prospection was to verify the known data about the settlement on one side and to search for the unknown archaeological sites on the other hand. Within the prospection there were used also the methods of non-destructive archaeology (aerial prospection, geophysical measurement of known features using magnetometer). The above mentioned methods of archaeological research were realized on two designated sites (U Litaša and Nad kostolom), which distance is about 1 km from each other. Field prospection was focused on verification of anomalies seen on satelite pictures of GoogleEarth, as well as on aerial prospection. There were approved the archaeological situations/features on both sites, that were found during aerial prospection of the monitored area. By Geophysical interpretation there were located first of all settlement features, but also system of fortification. Regarding to location of each features measured by geophysics, it is possible to analyze the build-up area on both settlements. According to recovered ceramics it is possible to date both sites only to prehistory, as there are more cultures represented.
