It is situated on a promontory on the left bank of the Lomenas river. The site is located approximately 50 metres from a farmstead along the Jonava-Žasliai-Kloniniai Mijaugonys road.
The hillfort features a courtyard measuring 7.5 by 13 metres, situated in the northwest - southeast direction. It is bordered by a 2-metre high mound, 23 metres wide, with an outer slope of 5 metres leading down into a 50-metre long, 20-metre wide, and 1.5-metre deep ditch. Adjacent slopes reach 20 metres in height. The area is covered with sparse trees and has been partially cleared, with stairs installed for access.
To the northwest of the hillfort lies a settlement covering 0.5 hectares. Archaeological finds at this site include both rough and smooth ceramics. The hillfort is dated to the first millennium - the beginning of the second millennium. It was declared a cultural monument by the Government of the Republic of Lithuania on May 19, 1998.
