The site is located at a mountain plateau to the north of the town Prilep. It has strata of existence from the Neolithic to the 19th century. The most significant is the medieval fortress, settled on three terraces. Inside the fortified walls with many towers there are residential buildings, workshops and a small church.
In 2005 the new excavations of the site are continued at the sectors “Ramnishte” and “Sred Kuli”. The main goal is to understand the organization of the settlement and its chronological development.
The sector Ramnishte has four phases of occupation.
The first phase is documented by a destruction layer containing sherds, tegulae and glass objects from the Late Antiquity. It is not excluded that this layer is stratified here by erosion of the higher parts where a late antiquique building was discovered in the past.
From the second phase there are only parts of walls from a building which remains unknown because of the limited area of research. On the basis of stratigraphy analysis and the relation with the necropolis, the walls are dated in the 12th century.
There are four partially uncovered graves from the third phase. According to the finds the deceased were buried here in the second half of the 13th century and the beginning of the 14th.
From the last phase there is partially excavated building with two rectangular rooms. The walls of the rooms are made out stone and mud. Between the rooms a well was discovered. The bottom of the well was dug into the bedrock and its walls are made out of carved stones with mortar between them. According to the movable finds the complex was built in the 14th century.
