Kasnobrončanodobno naselje u Dolini na položaju Babine grede locirano je na dvije uzdignute grede koje su položene usporedno s tokom rijeke Save u smjeru zapad – istok. Naselje je poznato na osnovi od ranije prikupljenih površinskih nalaza keramičkih ulomaka te je potvrđeno geomagnetskim snimanjem koje je provedeno 2014. godine. Tijekom 2015. i 2016. godine istražena je sonda 1 koja je smještena na istočnome dijelu zapadne grede. Arheološkim istraživanjem 2018. godine na položaju Babine Grede – Tukovi utvrdila se djelomična istovremenost naselja na istočnoj gredi tijekom Ha A2, odnosno tijekom prve polovice 11. st. pr. Kr. U sondi 2 otkriveni su i mlađi horizonti od onih zabilježenih u sondi 1. U istraživanjima koja su provedena u proljeće 2019. godine otvorena je manja sonda 3 na zapadnome dijelu istočne grede. Sonda 3 nalazi se južno od naselja na zapadnoj gredi. Ova sonda istraživana je s ciljem ubikacije ravnoga groblja, ali je lociran periferni dio naselja s većim ukopanim objektom. Novim rezultatima istraživanja dopunjene su spoznaje o granicama naselja i smjerovima njegova širenja, kao i pretpostavke o položaju ravnoga groblja. Činjenica da se na drugoj strani rijeke nalazi brončanodobno naselje Donja Dolina koje je, sudeći prema objavljenim nalazima, bar jednim dijelom bilo istovremeno s naseljem na položaju Babine grede, otvara niz novih pitanja o specifičnome načinu korištenja krajolika uz rijeku Savu tijekom kasnoga brončanog doba, osobito tijekom mlađe faze kulture polja sa žarama.The Late Bronze Age settlement in Dolina at the location of Babine Grede stands on two elevated ridges lying along the course of the River Sava in the direction of west – east. The settlement is known on the basis of previously collected surface finds of potsherds and was confirmed by a geomagnetic survey conducted in 2014. Trench 1, located in the eastern part of the western ridge, was excavated in 2015 and 2016. The archaeological excavations of the location of Babine Grede – Tukovi in 2018 determined that the settlement on the east ridge was partly contemporary in Ha A2, i.e. in the first half of the 11th cent. BC. Trench 2 included younger horizons than those recorded in Trench 1. The excavations conducted in the spring of 2019 opened Trench 3, which is a smaller trench on the western part of the eastern ridge. Trench 3 is located south of the settlement on the western ridge. This trench was excavated with the aim of locating a flat cemetery, but it located a peripheral part of the settlement with a large buried structure. The new excavation results have supplemented the findings about the borders of the settlement and the directions of its expansion, as well as the assumptions about the position of the flat cemetery. According to the published findings, the Bronze Age settlement of Donja Dolina on the other side of the river was at least partly contemporary with the settlement at Babine Grede, and this fact raises a number of new questions about the specific use of landscape along the River Sava in the Late Bronze Age, especially during the younger phase of the Urnfield culture
