The archaeological find spot is located on the western side of the local road that runs from Civljane to the hamlet Kotluša and continues further to the village Cetina. Graves were discovered in the course of excavation works for the construction of a water filling station, during which some of them were destroyed by heavy machinery. Rescue excavations that are still going on revealed the existence of two graveyards at the same location. The first one dates to the late 8th and beginning of the first half of the 9th century and is verified by finds of ceramic pots, early Carolingian bronze spurs, knives with iron heft fittings, as well as several individual finds of jewellery. The deceased were buried in wooden coffins that were placed in the plain ground. The second graveyard, which dates to the Late Middle Ages and the beginning of the Modern Times, partly overlaid the older one. The graves were made out of vertically placed stone slabs and covered with irregular slabs. Only rare finds were discovered there, mostly needles for closing the sheets into which the dead were wrapped and iron fittings from shoe soles. Coins that were found in one of the graves indicate to the 16th, 17th and beginning of 18th century.

Staff members of the Museum of Croatian Archaeological Monuments that participated in these excavation works are as follows: head Maja Petrinec, PhD; documentalist Maja Marković; photographer Zoran Alajbeg.
