Unknown earth fortifications discovered in the Subcarpathian province
Mysterious relics of embankments in the village Bieździadka in the Strzyżów foothills, in the western part of Garb Warszycki have been discovered by archaeologists from Jasło, Joanna Pilszyk and Piotr Szmyd. The structures could be associated with an unknown medieval episode of the presence of Czech Hussites in this small village.
The fortifications were discovered on a narrow leg of the point dropping to the brook Bieździadka. The place was protected from three sides by the natural steepness of the slopes. From the side of the plateau, the easiest access, it was secured by means of two embankment lines and preceding moats. Even today, the height of embankments reaches over 2 m. Archaeologists believe that the fortifications were topped with a fence or palisade.
