A small fortified settlement or hillfort is located on Reber, a ridge rising above the village of Kompolje east of Lukovica pri Domžalah, which the excavations in 1879 showed to date to the Early Iron Age. In 2019, artefacts from the Early Iron Age also came to light on the cartway leading along the southern slopes of Kopa and Reber, the former being the peak terminating the Reber ridge in the east. The ensuing archaeological investigations by the Centre for Preventive Archaeology (2019) and the National Museum of Slovenia (2021) revealed that the finds originated from one or more inhumations. The burials were destroyed, with the exception of a part of a grave containing a ceramic jar and an iron knife, and goods scattered across the cartway deposits. Similarly scattered were human bones that belonged to at least two individuals. The grave or graves appear to have been damaged during the construction of the cartway, possibly already in 1819, when a bronze Negova helmet was also most likely found here.
