Cultural heritage

On a hill known as Big Peak (Slovene: Veliki vrh) in the eastern part of the settlement, the remains of a prehistoric hillfort have been identified. Judging by finds of coins from the rule of Gallienus and Aurelian, the site was also used in the Roman period, probably as a refuge.[4]

gollark: Does this fit with history? I'm sure you could look at societies with differing levels of external pressures/fighting and check.
gollark: I see.
gollark: If men were going around coordinating to organize things to benefit themselves, they would probably *not* want high suicide rates and prison populations and such.
