In the boundary of Balatonederics, on the above-mentioned archaeological site Celtic pottery fragments, about 100 m farther Celtic skeleton grave were found too, so the area was inhabited in the Late Iron Age as well. The Celts might have lived in the recent area of Szigliget, their funeral place was found in the side of the Várhegy (DARNAY 1899). In the time border of the Sub-Atlantic phase the Roman period marks mostly the landscape with one's impress. From this age we know of steady built roads, stone constructions, of ruins of which are still observable sometimes on the surface even today and which were often standing, also in ruins useful buildings, man made objects from the Conquest Period and the Early Middle Age. In 1889 at Balatonederics a road made of rectangular stones deriving from the Roman period was found (KUZSINSZKY 1920). To exactly determine its place is impossible nowadays, but it may be supposed that it is the same road, which occurs in 1262 350Fig. 3.
