The hillfort is situated on an isolated hill on the right bank of an unnamed stream. Its oval-shaped platform features a 2-meter lower northwestern edge, where fragments of corded pottery were discovered. On the northwestern slope, 1.5 meters below the platform, lies a 4-meter-wide and 0.2-meter-deep ditch. Beyond the ditch, a 30-meter-long, 0.2-meter-high, and 4-meter-wide rampart has been constructed, with a 5-meter-wide terrace extending along the southern and southeastern slopes. The moderately steep slopes reach heights of up to 10 meters.

The moderately steep
slopes reach heights of up to 10 meters. The hillfort has been damaged by plowing and is now overgrown with deciduous trees. To the southwest, in a 0.4-hectare area, a former settlement at the foot of the hillfort was explored in 2001, where fragments of smooth pottery were found. Dating indicates that the hillfort was in use from the late 1st millennium BCE to the mid-1st millennium CE. This archaeological site is a valuable cultural heritage landmark and an intriguing destination for visitors.
