New remnants of a prehistoric settlement seven thousand years ago were identified in the XI. The staff of the Budapest History Museum in the part of the district bordering Budaörs.
In 2016, a hitherto unknown Neolithic site was discovered on the so-called Spanish Meadow during the construction of a condominium. Subsequently, excavations were carried out during the basic excavation of two more condominiums.
Archaeologists say there may have been a settlement in the area about 7,000 years ago.

From September this year, the laying of sewers and aqueducts also started on the nearby Madárhegy, which was also preceded by archaeological works. Archaeologists have excavated more than 50 excavated objects of archeological age here in narrow (60-100 centimeters wide) utility trenches. Most of the objects were simple pits,
of these were mainly fragments of pottery and animal bones left behind by Stone Age people.

Most of the finds can be attributed to the so-called Zseliz group of the Transdanubian line-decorated ceramic culture (DVK), although there are also finds that may have originated earlier. Only a few small, round column holes suggest the possible location of half-timbered houses well known from this era, they wrote.

Archaeologists do not yet know for sure what structures may have stood there, but there will be some construction in the area in the near future and they will be able to carry out pre-excavations before them. However, the results of the research already show that the Neolithic site is much larger than previously estimated, and that Roman and Avar / Árpádian involvement has also been detected at the site.
Archaeologists believe that due to the good water supply of the area, people may have settled here during the Stone Age. They also managed to identify a stream that has now filled up during the excavation to the north-east of the Spanish Riverside Stream, which is still flowing. A trench was later excavated here in Roman times.
From the time after the Roman era, only a partially excavated Avar or Árpádian stack house has been identified, ie this area may have been less inhabited at that time.
