For the first time, the results of magnetometry studies on the territory of the Belinskoye archaeological heritage site (AHS) located on the Kerch Peninsula are published in the article. This monument, which included a hill fort and necropolis, intermittently existed from the turn of I–II to the beginning of the X century. Excavations 1996-2023 studied about 5.5 thousand m2, which is no more than 3% of its approximate area. Magnetic exploration carried out at the facility during 2007–2015 made it possible to study almost 90% of the territory of the settlement and at least 1/3 of the necropolis. Thus, among all the archaeological sites of Taurika, AHS Belinskoye is the most studied. Despite the hypothetical nature of the information received, it can be concluded that in early Byzantine times the object was a fortified settlement with urban neighborhoods divided by a grid of streets. At the Khazar time, the eastern part of the settlement was occupied by manor development with the use of its northern and central parts for economic purposes.
