Summary (English)

  • PRESLAV (Georgi Maistorski – gmaistorski@gmail.com, Plamen Slavov) Three towers, 8 m by 3.25 m in size and located at 120 m from each other, and the northeastern corner tower have been discovered along the eastern fortification wall of the Outer Town so far. Sondages were carried out at 120 m to the north from Tower No. 2. A pavement of limestone rubble was discovered and sherds of the 13th century were found. Two courses of a fortification structure built of ashlars, probably a tower, were discovered under the pavement. There was a crux simplex incised on one ashlar before it was incorporated into the fortification structure. Sherds of the 13th century were found.
