This historical site, shrouded in mystery and legends, lies on the right bank of the Strėva River, in its valley. The hillfort stands out with its unique structure: its platform is rectangular with rounded ends and oriented northwest, measuring 7.5 meters in length and 5 meters in width. There is an added rampart at the platform, which appears to be only one meter high from the outside but actually reaches two meters in height. Further to the northwest, there is a forefield, which is also part of this ancient site. These structures are covered with trees and shrubs, and the slopes are particularly steep, reaching a height of 17 meters.
