The site is almost rectangular, elongated in a northeast-southwest direction, measuring 27×16 meters. At its northeastern edge, a 1.5-meter high, 13.5-meter wide rampart has been built, behind which a 17-meter wide, 1-meter deep ditch has been dug. The slopes are steep, 35-40 meters high. The hillfort has been damaged by plowing and is now overgrown with bushes and young deciduous trees.

The site is almost rectangular, elongated in a northeast-southwest direction, measuring 27×16 meters. At its northeastern edge, a 1.5-meter high, 13.5-meter wide rampart has been built, behind which a 17-meter wide, 1-meter deep ditch has been dug. The slopes are steep, 35-40 meters high. The hillfort has been damaged by plowing and is now overgrown with bushes and young deciduous trees.
At the northeastern foot of the hillfort, there is a 0.3-hectare settlement area.
The hillfort is dated to
the 1st millennium. It was surveyed in 1943 and 1953.
It can be reached via the Kruonis-Anglininkai road (road No. 1815) by turning left (west) in the northern part of Anglininkai, across the fields, to the forest on the Nemunas riverbank (it is located south of a larger grove of deciduous trees on the shore). The Kaunas Reservoir washes the western and southwestern slopes, causing annual erosion. The hillfort is overgrown with bushes and trees, making access and approach potentially challenging.
