The hillfort is located 4 km south of Leipalingis in the village of Černiauskų, situated in the valley of the Bilsinyčios river on the left bank, north of Lake Bilso Baltas.
This fortification is built on a separate hill with an oval courtyard, elongated in a north-west to south-east direction, reaching a height of up to 1 m in the center. The site is heavily damaged by erosion and the illegal transport of gravel from the hillfort.
To the east of the hillfort is a 0.2 ha settlement area. Excavations in this area have revealed flint, charcoal, and pottery of various types, as well as animal bones, clay plaster, and a clay cylindrical spindle.
