Summary/Abstract: The gord in Grzybowo (Września commune, Września county) is among the most mysterious and also the biggest facilities of the type from the early Middle Ages located in the heart of the Piast dominion. It was “discovered” by Olgierd Brzeski who initiated in 1989 excavations continued intermittently by 2009. The research carried out to date allows to define the chronological framework of the gord’s existence, namely the time between the 1020s and the mid-1050s.
