This is an imposing 200 Meter diameter Liburnian Illyrian Iron Age Hillfort with 4 wide terraces cut into the hill side at 78 Meters Altitude. On the south side, there is a massive irregular defensive wall out of lose material. This culture buried their dead in the Kosa tumuli field 400 meters to the South East.
