The legendary ancient hillfort, accessed via the Sužionys and Danilava road, reveals itself as an impressive archaeological treasure dating back to the early first millennium. The site features an oval and elongated platform measuring 38×31 meters, with a unique 1.5-meter rise on its western side. Interestingly, the western side of the platform showcases a distinctive 13-meter-wide and 3-meter-deep ditch, and beyond it, a 2.5-meter-high mound extending 0.8 meters high and 8 meters wide on the high promontory. Another archaeological feature, a second ditch marked as a hillock, adds to the site's mystery.

Another archaeological
feature, a second ditch marked as a hillock, adds to the site's mystery. The northern slope's terrace, surrounded by a 20-meter high steep incline, and the gentler southern slope, enhance the hillfort's historical texture. The found smooth ceramics on the terrace indicate that this place was vibrant in the early first millennium. The hillfort, accessible via Danilava near Lake Ilgis, is undoubtedly a valuable historical and cultural heritage site, offering insights into the daily life and architecture of ancient inhabitants.
