The Konskie Vody hillfort, located on the “northern section” of the Crimean Ulus, was identified on the basis of the data from the “Kniga Bolshomu Chertezhu” (“Book of Great Sketch”). Written sources and cartographic material of the 17th — early 20th centuries allow localizing the site at the intersection of important communication routes, indicate the degree of its destruction and provide additional data on the location of the city’s facilities. Archeological data testify to the syncretism of the material culture of the site, manifesting it in the elements of town planning.

Keywords: “north section” of the Crimean Ulus, North-Western Azov Sea region, Konskie Vody hillfort, river Zherebets, mosques
