The new excavation 15 was initiated at the Shestovytsya Hillfort in 2007. The excavation area was 137 sq. m. Here were recovered 13 pits and 7 households.

It consisted of the ditch with palisade (up to 0,8 m in width, up to 1,4 m in depth) and small ditch (up to 1,2 m in width, up to 1,1 m in depth) in front of it. Here archaeologists resumed excavations in 2007. To the south of the defensive line were found the remains of a large aboveground construction (postholes, trenches from decks, and the remains from two adobe hearths are dated to the 10th cent. AD).
