The enclosure is situated on the top of a hill and has an elongated oval shape which measures ca. 80 to 60 meters. The ramparts are up to 3 or 4 meters high. The first ditch is about 3 to 4 meters wide and still about 1 meter deep. The gates were located at the northeast and southwest. Another Wall with an outer ditch is located at a distance of 20 meters in front of the north-eastern gate.
Smaller excavations in 1952 revealed only small pieces of charcoal.
