Summary/Abstract: This article presents data on the newly discovered archaeological site of Lepar in the settlement of Bijela Polja (City of Gračanica). It is a prehistoric fort, which by its area is by far the largest in the area of the Gračanica, as well as beyond the area. In February 2023, we carried out a reconnaissance of the site, collecting a certain amount of ceramics and daub (surface finds). Based on the characteristic shapes and ornaments, the site can be dated to the Late Bronze Age, although the presence of layers from older periods cannot be ruled out. In any case, it is a significant site, and more data would certainly be obtained through archaeological excavations.
