A prehistoric hillfort sits on a dominating hill reaching an altitude of 245.9 metres. It is an oval enclosure - roughly 50 by 40 metres - oriented north to south, with the northern edge sitting one metre higher than the rest.
Archaeological records date the settlement to the first half of the first millennium BC – the beginning of the first millennium BC. On the slopes of the fort - which has banks up to 30 metres high - you can still find the remains of three-sided pits.
The site features trenches from two triangulation towers that were cut into the earth in the enclosure. Today, the site is surrounded by forest, with a total territory area of 138,000 m2.
