In historical science on written sources (to chronicles, digit and pistsovy books) it is known for the oykony - the Sviyazhsky ancient settlement. This ancient settlement is carried to the category of archaeological monuments besides that its location remains not found out. There are three versions of its location: on a place of the island hail of Sviyazhsk, with northern and from the southwest party from it. On the basis of scrupulous joint consideration of pistsovy books, cartography and the description of the Sviyazhsky district of the XVIII century (a new source) the author makes a new hypothesis of location of the Sviyazhsky ancient settlement - in the southern part of the flat-topped mountain, from South side from Kuzemkina’s former village.
