At the meeting on October 23, 1) V. B. Antonovich’s report on the trip of him and I. II was read. Khrushchov to Belogorodka on October 13 and presented samples of bricks with drawings from ancient buildings, and other small finds. The most valuable result, according to V.B. Antonovich, was that the White Rod judiciary was put on the plan. Based on five plans taken from the fortifications of the Viyazhe era in different places of the former Kyiv principality (Vyshgorod, Peresechen, Zvenigorod, Vitichev and Belgorod), it is possible to indicate some distinctive features of the fortifications of the princely period: 1) the fortifications did not have rectilinear outlines - the rampart of the fortification was usually directed, following the curvatures of the elevated square, towards on which the fort was poured, forming curves, indifferently convex and concave; when turning, the angles of the shaft are not straight, but rounded; 2) inside the large, outer rampart there were several units, several dtdins (from two to five); and 3) according to the outline of the hills, if somewhere it was necessary to leave a mountain ledge outside the rampart, then this ledge was turned into a separate, as if forward fortification. During production, according to the instructions of local inhabitants, layouts were made in six places, gg. Antonovich and Khrushchov managed to find traces of buildings in three of them. In one place where the shaft in 1873 - 77 it.
washed away by water, a deep ravine was formed, in which large four-cornered bricks were found; but due to the collapse of the place where the building was located, its foundations were completely destroyed. In another place, in the south-eastern corner of the rampart surrounding Dedynets, traces of an ancient building were found, as evidenced by red slate tiles, and one of the tiles lining the floor, completely similar to the tiles extracted from the floor of the Irininsky Church in Kyiv. A glass ring was found in the same place. Unfortunately, the foundations of the walls of this building were destroyed at a later time by the construction of a private house on that site, which subsequently burned down. From the remains of this house, numerous patterned, colored tiles (tiles) were taken out, many of which bore inscriptions in Slavic letters, forming a script in several places. But the style of the letter may have changed by the 12th century. By comparing the fragments that preserved the inscription, it was possible to read it in full: “one hundred caves robg.g Matti Baryposhevich is from Lartsev, repairman of Lelogorodshiya.” Finally, Tue. in the third place, not far from the church, several trenches were made; graves were found that were built in a church graveyard at a fairly late time; These graves were dug in the place where, in all likelihood, there was an ancient stone church building. The entire ground surrounding the graves was overflowing with rubbish, among which were fragments of slate boards, bricks and a reasonable amount of fragments of plaster, which retained clear traces of frescoes on the front side. On this site there probably stood the ancient church of St. Anostolov, mentioned in the 12th and 13th centuries in chronicles. Unfortunately, the cemetery that was subsequently built on this site completely destroyed its foundations, which were found only in the form of sad fragments and can hardly be restored.
