The Veiviržėnai hillfort, standing 11 meters above the landscape, at the foot of Veiviržo hill, exhibits a truncated pyramid shape. Measuring 37 meters in length and 34 meters at its broadest point, it narrows to 11 meters at its base. The hillfort reaches a height of 3 meters at its summit. An 8-meter-wide, 4-meter-deep chasm splits the hillfort at its center. The hillfort is encircled by a 20-meter-wide moat, creating a total enclosure 57 meters in width and 400 meters in length. The base slopes gently, presenting a picturesque view of the surrounding trees and rolling hills.
