Mokeeva Gora is an archaeological site of the 12th century. It is located 500 m northeast of the village. The hill is oriented to the southeast, its length is 80-100 meters, and the width at the base is 12-15 meters, the height is about 8-10 meters. According to the official version, it is part of an ancient defensive structure. The name of the object varies. In addition to the official Mokeeva Gora, listed in the directory of Historical and Cultural Monuments of the Vladimir Region, local residents call it Tatar Mountain, Simeonova Gora.
Purpose of the object: 1. One of the legends says that there was an outpost on the Mokeev Kurgan, where the Tivuns collected duties from merchant boats sailing along the Klyazma. 2. Another legend says that the body of some prince with all his property is buried inside the rampart. The water in the spring that has broken through from under the shaft has an increased content of silver ions, as it washes silver cups, bowls, swords and other utensils that the mountain keeps in itself. Or the warriors who died in the battle with the Tatar-Mongol invaders are buried in the mound. And all their weapons and wealth are buried with the warriors. And the water that beats out from under the ground, washing the silver handles of the blades, is considered holy. 3. The shaft is designed to transmit signals (in the form of fires) to the capital Vladimir. An interesting feature of the earthen structure is the unusually wide panorama of the surrounding area. Along the direction of its ridge, Mokeeva Mountain looks strictly beyond the Klyazma River to the village of Spas-Kupalishche (5 km) with a monastery located in it (in the 12th century, there were several large settlements in the area of the village of Spas-Kupalishche). If you turn around, you can see the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir (23 km) from the mountain. In the 12th century, there were very few roads, so the main routes of movement were riverbeds. One fire could be lit on the rampart, or several could be lit along the entire rampart, which were visible in Vladimir, i.e. information about movements along the Sudogda and Klyazma rivers towards Vladimir could be transmitted from this hill.
