BARÁTOK TAVA (LAKE OF THE MONKS) LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL INFORMATION THE ORIGIN OF A GEOGRAPHICAL NAME

Summary/Abstract: Discussed in this brief paper is the origin of the name of Lake Barátok tava (“friars’ lake”) on the outskirts of Kisszékely in County Tolna in the light of the evidence offered by landscape archaeology and the written documents. According to the literary sources, the Dominican friary of Simontornya received two fishponds in an area called Tömörkény puszta. The data contained in medieval charters suggested that the medieval village by Lake Barátok tava could be identified with the perished settlement of Temerkény, and thus it seems likely that Lake Barátok tava and Lake Csádés-tó lying near it were the two fishponds donated to the Dominican friars of Simontornya.
