The hillfort's
slopes are moderately steep, reaching heights of up to 10 meters. The site is covered with mixed forest, and parts of it have been disturbed by pits. In 1996, archaeologist P. Tebelškis excavated a 70 m² area and uncovered a cultural layer up to 35 cm thick. Findings included corded and smooth ceramics, traces of a hearth, and posthole remains. This historic site, dating to the first half of the 1st millennium CE, is a unique location that attracts both history enthusiasts and nature lovers.
