The present spectrum of sources related to this conflict is not wide. The research thus offers more space to approaches which can bring new knowledge about the given problem. Since recently, the research on historical battlefields and military clashes implements KOCOA analysis with increaing intensity. The employment of this method enables to identify individual phases of the conflict and to define the impact of surrounding environment on the course of the military event. An important role in this form of spatial analysis is played by spatial attributes of the landscape (divided into five categories), in which the studied conflict has taken place. These attributes can be now reconstructed to a smaller or larger extent, also with the help of other historical sources (period reports, maps...). The aim of the contribution is to exemplify how this method is applied to the terrain of a supposed battlefield at Veľké Vozokany, which is remembered to this day by a magnificent bronze statue of a lion.
