On Preval, at the top of the Razdrto pass, relatively modest remains dating from various periods (2nd century BC to 4th century AD and 18th and 19th century) were found.

The oldest structure on the pass is represented by the open air fireplace from the first third of the 1st century BC.

In the Augustan period a road was constructed across the pass. A building that stood near the road was destroyed in the mid 1st century AD.

Isolated objects are the only late Roman vestiges at Preval.

Foundation stones of a simple building were excavated in the north of the site. Coins found next to them date the building into the 18th and 19th century.
