The area of the Brno city (southeastern part of the Czech Republic) is situated on the border of Bohemian Massif and Western Carpathians. This implies its high geological and geomorphological diversity, which influenced the localisation of prehistorical settlements. The area traditionally served as an important crossroads of the important communication routes and has been inhabited since Paleolithic (the oldest findings approx. 600 000 years BP. The Holedná Hill (N-W part of the city) represents the end of ridge above the deep incised Svratka valley. The area has been a subject of geomorphological research and based on the analysis of LiDAR Data. Unknown elongated structures were identified. The fieldworks proved the anthropogenic origin of these landforms. The structures symmetrically surround the dominant peak of the Holedná Hill. The radiocarbon dating of organic material from anthropogenic wall confirms the age between 1200 – 1050 BC which refers to the Bronze Age.
