The article is devoted to the part of the Dnieper trade path’s localization by the location of fortifications at the crossings through the steppe riversin the micro region. It was impossible to prove this version earlier due to the lack of known settlements along the path. As a result of the exploration conducted in 2012—2017 there were discovered previously unknown fortifications in Pishchane, Kropyvna and Irkliiv. Thus it is became possible to precisely position the fords and crossings that covered those settlements. Above mentioned network of fortifications functioned from the middle of the XII to the first half of the XIII century. This is confirmed by the materials found.
