Budapest THE IRON FINDS FROM MÁLYINKA-DÉDESTAPOLCSÁNY-VEREPCEVÁR AND THE MISKOLC-KŐLYUK I CAVE The discovery of Verepce-vár and its finds Following a report on the discovery of various iron finds in summer, 2004, we conducted a rescue excavation at the location. The site is a hillfort known as Dédcstapolcsány-Verepce-bérc, today part of the village of Mályinka, although the site's western part, the terraces on the gently sloping hillside lie on the outskirts of Nagyvisnyó.

Prehistoric pottery sherds lay scattered in the area. Five shaft-hole axes or chisels (Fig. 1, Fig. 2. 4) were found south-east of the iron lumps. We were shown a large mound (Fig. 1, Fig. 2. 2) at Dédestapolcsány-Várerdő, some 3 km north-west of Verepce-vár. The mound was robbed and its ^ stones were used for constructing lime-kilns, some of which can still be seen. Four larger and several smaller mounds and their remains can be seen in the area. László Barta and Zsolt Barta collected burnt stones covered with slag from the inner side of the rampart in the south-eastern part of Verepce-vár (Fig. 1); they also found a few tuyere fragments. Previous research The hillfort was surveyed by Gyula Nováki and György Sándorfi.
