The embankment's surface is paved with stones. The slopes are steep, 14-15 m high. The embankment was dug in three places. The mound is overgrown with mixed forest. To the west of the mound, on an area of 0.7 ha, is a settlement at the foot of the hill, where streaked and roughened pottery and slag have been found.
