The hillfort lies on the western bank of Šlavanto lake, hidden by a willow grove. A rectangular structure, enclosed by a moat 24x20 meters in size, with an average depth of 1 meter, this hillfort is a testament to the time period between the 1st and 2nd centuries. The entrance, 14 meters wide and 1 meter high, is located on the south side, 1 meter above ground level. Above the entrance, on the south side, there are 13-14 meter high terraces. The hillfort was fortified with walls and trenches, but it is currently inaccessible as it is covered by natural vegetation. The hillfort is a cultural monument protected by the Government of Lithuania since 1998. The area of the monument's territory is 6,300 square meters, and the area of the protection zone is 5,000 square meters.
