Truvorovo hillfort is located on a high promontory with rather steep slopes, in a place at the confluence of a small unknowne creek in the lake. Settlement at an altitude of 44-45 meters from the level of the lake.
The Izborsk fortified settlement through the water system is connected with the Baltic. The settlement has subtriangular outlines, about 1 hectare in size. On the floor side it is protected by a shaft with a height of up to 6 m and a moat, a depth of about 3 m.
It is believed that the first settlement on the Truvoroye hillfort originated not later than the turn of the 7th-8th centuries, on the site of an older settlement.
