The late ancient site of Crkvišće Bukovlje near Generalski Stol

Lokalitet Crkvišće Bukovlje može se, prema analogijama s područja Slovenije, s velikom sigurnošću interpretirati kao kasnoantičku visinsku utvrdu s jednostavnom jednobrodnom crkvom polukružne apside te datirati u razdoblje 5./6. stoljeća. Smješten je nad rijekom Mrežnicom i nad strmim stijenama, na prirodno zaštićenom i strateškom položaju (uzvišenju nekadašnje prapovijesne gradine), koji je vjerojatno kontrolirao važnu kasnoantičku komunikaciju. Obrambeni zidovi, s barem jednom kulom, koji s dvije strane zatvaraju uzvisinu, s velikom se sigurnošću mogu datirati također u kasnoantičko razdoblje iako se bez sustavnih istraživanja ne mogu isključiti mogućnosti korištenja fortifikacija tijekom kasnijih razdoblja.The site Crkvišće is located on the naturally protected incline on the Mrežnice river bend. The plateau, which slightly inclines towards the north, is in the shape of an irregular triangle (the length of the western side is around 110 meters, the northeast around 80 meters and the southeast side is around 85 meters) and is naturally protected from the west by a steep slope which descends toward the Mrežnica River canyon. The remains of a single-nave church with a semi-circular apse are located on the northern, the highest and most dominant part of the plateau. The landscape clearly shows the vista of a protective wall, with a width of around 2m, which protected the plateau from the eastern and northern side, while traces of loose stones on the western side open up the possibility that this side was also additionally strengthened by a wall
