Restored archaeological excavation on Molpír hill-fort was undertaken in July 2008. Its main purpose was to identify the stratigraphy on the site in more detail and define periods of settlement in those places of the acropolis where excavation had not been carried out. Area 1/2008 was determined by geophysical survey. The stratigraphic situation was documented in the examined trenches, which brought new knowledge of the cultural layering. The hill-fort was populated in several prehistoric and early historic periods. The most intensive was settlement in the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt period). The excavation’s most significant result is uncovering of a part of stone foundations of a house and its inner space (destruction layer and hearth floor) from Hallstatt period (HC), whose dimensions correspond to the anomaly recorded already in the geophysical survey.

There are two agglomerations of hill-forts and settlements in Turiec region, in northern Slovakia that provided remarkable finds from the Middle La Tène Period to the beginning of the Roman Period, from the pre-Púchov stage and the La Tène phase of the Púchov Culture. It is a system of terraced settlements and fortified refugia on the hilltops of mountains in Folkušová – Necpaly and Blatnica. Blatnica was the regional centre in the Early to the Middle La Tène Periods and the Early Roman Period. Both centres were used at the time of the largest settlement expansion in northern Carpathians, from the Middle La Tène Period to the beginning of Roman Period, when they became extinct violently. A special feature of the both agglomerations is long-term use, preservation state of old roads and combination of terraced settlements with fortifications on inaccessible peaks with great altitudes. Hoards of La Tène swords are the continuation of long tradition of sacrificial places around the hilltop Plešovica, which is enclosed with the Early Medieval princely grave. The study also observes a number of artefacts that document the connection of northern Slovakia with southeastern Europe in the Late La Tène Period.
