Tabulová hora hillfort plays a prominent role in the landscape of the South Moravia region. The excavation in 50’s brought basic information about the wall construction. At the beginning of the 21st century rumours about illegal metal detecting activities started to spread. According to this rumours a significant number of Bronze Age hoards as well as exclusive items were illegally excavated. This sparked a new wave of professional interest leading to a series of archaeological non-destructive activities on the site. The aim of this study is to present new results of defence system survey as well as geomagnetic survey of particular hillfort sections. The results are confronted with the data coming from the past excavations. A discussion on the role of hillforts in the Urnfield society follows.
V letech 2007–2014 byl prováděn detektorový průzkum v lokalitě Sedlec 4 (okr. Ústí nad Orlicí). Podařilo se získat soubor předmětů, které byly jednotlivě archeologizovány v areálu sídliště, a orbou rozvlečený bronzový depot obsahující kruhový šperk, růžicovitou sponu a kruhové disky s poutkem. Depot náleží horizontu Kosmonosy s datací Ha A1-2. and A metal detector survey conducted at the Sedlec 4 site in the Ústí nad Orlicí district, East Bohemia, in 2007–2014 produced an assemblage of artefacts individually ‘archaeologised’ on the grounds of the settlement, and a bronze hoard dispersed by ploughing, containing ring ornamentation, a rosette fibula and round disks with a loop.
