| Description | The south-western section of the fortifications of the Great Moravian Pohansko centre is among the most damaged sections of the fortification line. At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the Lichtensteins significantly changed the section by building a hunting lodge. The destruction of the wall was reduced and levelled, while it was completely removed in the places of the foundations and the basement. The course of destruction has always been estimated based on intuition rather than archaeological research. For identification, we decided to use a combination of non-destructive geophysical methods, sounding boreholes and field research. The research revealed the destruction layers and the structure of the rampart, which had been disturbed by looting. By supplementing this with information from previously carried out rescue and advance research, it was possible to identify with certainty the course of the fortification line of the monitored section. It was also possible to identify the place where the south gate to the central area is most probably located. |
