"Halychyna Grave" has long been called a lonely mound on the southwestern edge of the Krylos hillfort, at its highest point, between the outer and inner defensive ramparts.
According to legend, the legendary founder of Halych, Prince Hal (Halytsya), is buried here. The Halychyna Grave is mentioned in the Galician-Volyn Chronicle of the 13th century as a sacred place for the acquisition of princely power.
During excavations in 1991-1993, an ancient Slavic symbolic burial (cenotaph) of a noble warrior was found in the mound. A dagger, arrowheads, three axes, gilding from a shield and other items dating back to the 10th century were discovered in the remains of the burnt boat. There were no remains of the soldier himself in the burial.
