the nearest road: highway Gradsko-Prilep
topographical situation: the southern slope of the Gradište hill is terraced and a settlement of 17 ha has grown on it.
ancient horizon: fortified settlement: identified as the city of Audarion (Eurist), one of the Paion centers; the walls of the fortified settlement are Hellenistic, without plaster. There are no other solid buildings with plaster.
archaeological finds: a large number of movable finds and hundreds of coins from the 4th century AD, when it almost died out and flourished as a rural settlement until the end of antiquity.
Early Christian horizon: Two early Christian basilicas located south of the settlement with rich architectural plastic from the 5th and 6th centuries.

medieval horizon:
fortified settlement: At the western end of the old acropolis, a medieval dry wall fortification. The wall covers a triangular space measuring 170 x 40/50 m. The eastern end is separated by an internal wall in the acropolis, measuring 50 x 20 m. On the northern side, it rested on a vertical part of the rock, and it is accessible from the southern side. In the northwestern part there is a water cistern, deeply cut into the living rock during the Hellenistic period. In the southern part, residential layers have been preserved.
movable finds: numerous movable finds were carried away by erosion: a medieval hearth and table ceramics, tegulas of the so-called Komnenian type, pieces of glass beads, bronze Slavic jewelry (10-13th century), numerous iron arrowheads, knives, etc. A decorated bronze belt buckle with a lion-griffin in relief dates from the 9-10th century.
coins found by: John I Tzimiskes, Michael IV, Constantine IX (from the end of the 10th and 11th centuries); of John III Doukas Vatatzes, Michael VIII, Andronikos II and Michael IX (from the 13th and 14th centuries).
jewelry: earrings and rings of the 10th–11th centuries
remains of sacred buildings: on the ridge east of the fortress there are also traces of medieval buildings. Two of them are smaller churches, one of which has been completely excavated and the other partially. The Komnenian-type tegulas with which they were covered refer to the 12th and 13th centuries.
necropolis: On the eastern slope of Gradište there are medieval graves. The lower-town was spread over the middle terrace to the south of the fortress.
historical data: The town of Devol was the regional center of Raec and a fortified guard on the important road from Vardar to Pelagonia. Its name is derived from the Greek name Diavol (enemy, devil), certainly at the time of the separation of the Slavs from Byzantium (9th century). It is identical to the second, much more famous Devol near Korča, the seat of the church in the 9th and 10th centuries and the first capital of Samuel. The lack of larger and solid buildings from the late Middle Ages in Devol indicates that its importance has been lost even before the Serbian conquest of these regions, and its place was taken by the town of Tikveš 10 km to the south.
