About

Peremyshl, positioned on the right bank of the Mocha River near Moscow, holds significant archaeological interest due to its dual identity as both a village and a fortified site during the Late Post-Classical Period. Historian Vasily Tatishchev attributed the founding of the Peremyshl fortress to 1152 CE, though historical records first concretely reference it as a village in 1339 CE. The presence of fortifications is suggested around 1370 CE, indicating its strategic military importance within the Grand Duchy of Moscow, particularly under the Serpukhov appanage. The site's proximity to the Rodnevo hill fort adds to its archaeological value, being recognized as a monument of federal significance. These features provide insight into medieval defensive strategies and settlement patterns in the region.
