A significant early medieval hillfort is located on a hill above Wiercica river. It constitutes of a heavily defended inner ward which occupies a promontory of the hill, and a larger outer ward enclosed with a single rampart. Additional lines of ramparts are located on the southern slope of the hill. The earthworks survived in good contition.
The hillfort was occupied in two phases. The first one dates to the Tribal period (8th-9th century AD), the second to 10th-11th century.
