side of the platform, descending into a 9-meter-wide and 1.5-meter-deep ditch. Following this is another 2-meter-high and 10-meter-wide rampart, behind which lies another 10-meter-wide and 1.5-meter-deep ditch. These structures, along with the 15-meter-high steep slopes and the stream-eroded northern section, give the hillfort a distinctive geomorphological profile. Currently, the hillfort is covered with deciduous forest, and its platform is adorned with raspberry bushes, attracting both nature enthusiasts and history researchers.
