The partially destroyed gord in Rogoźno has not been well explored archaeologically. The only excavations at the site were conducted by J. Delekta in the beginning of the 30s of the previous century. They had an interventional character and were conducted due to the washing of the south-east part of the gord together with the dyke during river Wełna engineering, where the gord had been built. Research was principally limited to the description of the occurrent destruction, with a very sketchy description of the exposed cultural layers, as well as to collecting a small set of moveable sources. On the basis of the collected pieces of pottery, J. Delekta assumed that the gord had been created before the 10th century. A similar chronology (phase C of the early Middle Ages) was assumed for the gord in Rogoźno in the post-war studies, and in the recent ones – phase D0 of the early Middle Ages. In the last quarter of 2019, when an electrical wire was being laid down in the close vicinity to the gord, 4 oaken beams were excavated from the construction of the dyke ruined before war (including 2 with characteristic “hooks”). From these beams, samples were taken in order to date them with the use of dendrochronological methods. The analysis revealed that the beams were obtained after the year 900, most probably in 914, which was indicated by one of the samples with yearly dating. It should be therefore assumed that the construction of the stronghold and its further functioning should be connected with the beginnings of the formation of the state of the first Piasts. This process began around the year 900 and continued until the middle of the 19th century within the Gniezno region and its adjoining areas, hence also in the Rogoźno region.
