Geophysical prospection at the site of a Neolithic rondel near Bylany has been carried out in three different stages of archaeological study of the area. The first two stages of measurements with different magnetometers were initiated as a result of previous archaeological investigation. The last survey by five‐channel fluxgate magnetometer brought more complex results of the whole area revealing three different Neolithic rondels. The results of wide area prospection helped also to identify changes in landscape and subsurface state of preservation of the archaeological site.
