Résumé en anglais
Zabji grad is a low hill, which lies on the southernfringes of the Ljubljansko barje (marshland) in central Slovenia.
Several archaeological sites have been recorded in its immediatevicinity. The earliest is dated to the mid 3rd millennium BC. These
sites are now under threat from unplanned urbanisation and smallscaledevelopment. The threats to the area include the loss of
memory of heritage sites, abandonment and degradation oftraditional land use and by intense fly tipping of building and other
waste materials on the marshland.The remains of a medieval castle are known on the hill summit, with
Bronze Age settlement, revealed by archaeological excavation on itssouthern slopes in 2007. This in turn has aroused renewed public
interest in the surviving local vernacular tradition, particularly thetales and legends, linked to the locations of ancient settlements in the
area.
