The article deals with selected artefacts from the hillfort of Bojná I-Valy and its nearby surroundings from the high Middle Ages – early post-medieval period which have been brought by years of systematic archaeological investigation of the site and its hinterland. It is an assemblage of finds associated with rider’s equipment and horse harness (spurs, buckles, and bits), militaria (dussack, arrowheads). The hillfort is dated to the Early Middle Ages and after its demise. It did not renew its previous status. Nevertheless, the small assemblage of presented finds means a certain interest in the site and this area in the later period. The artefacts suggest a certain connection with the settlement in its nearby surroundings. They can also point to use of (today almost extinct) routes crossing the Považský Inovec mountain range and connecting the regions of Ponitrie and Považie.

Most of the territory of Kysuce is unsuitable for agriculture. The area is poor in mineral raw materials and the sporadic occurrence of iron ore is the only exception. The region has typical considerably rugged relief and most of it is currently covered with coniferous forests. The preserved remains of the original forest cover consist mainly of deciduous and coniferous mixed wood forests and are represented mostly by beech and fir-beech growth. The severe deforestation of the land in the past was caused by use of the land and processing of wood for forest crafts, such as charcoal production. Later, the deforested areas were used by farmers and shepherds. Traces of these activities are visible in the terrain even now and Lidar maps of the terrain can be used to identify them. Younger interventions changed the character of the landscape significantly and they limit the reconstructions of the course of settlement and the method of its use in the distant past.
