Summary/Abstract: In 2021-2022, the Museum of the First Piasts at Lednica conducted archaeological excavation on Ledniczka, an island located on Lednickie Lake (Rybitwy, site 4, AZP 50 - 32/25). In the trenches along the western shoreline wooden elements were found in a chaotic arrangement which originated from bridge or shoreline fortifications dated to the 2nd half of the 13th–13th/14th century. In the layers of detritus fragments of early 10th century vessels were also discovered. A trench located on the northern slope of the ‘rampart’ surrounding the stronghold at the north provided important information. The natural elevation used for its construction had been raised by about 1 m, and the original humus contained abundant artefacts dated, as in the previous case, to the time of the construction of this fortified settlement and the early 10th century.
