This hillfort is one of the most impressive ones in southern part of Poland. Orginally it had triangle-shaped rampart and was in perfect condition, but northern part of the hillfort suffered damage when a new road was built here few years ago. Still it's worth visting and is easily visible from the road, even through the forest (they are particularly impressive in western part of the site, where natural defences were more limited).

Only sondage archaeological excavations were carried out here. Remains of the original hillfort from 5th century BC were discovered under the earthwork of the visible one, which was built by Slavic tribe of Gołęszyce.
