Aikštelė keturkampė, pailga ŠR-PV kryptimi, 32x23,5 m dydžio. Jos PV krašte supiltas 6 m aukščio, 23 m pločio kūgio formos pylimas, kurio viršuje yra 8 m skersmens aikštelė. Pylimo išorinėje pusėje iškastas 17 m pločio, 1,5 m gylio griovys. Šlaitai statūs, 20–30 m aukščio. Aikštelės pakraščiai apardyti apkasų, pylimo viršus eroduoja trypiamas lankytojų. Aikštelė dirvonuoja, pakraščiai ir šlaitai apaugę lapuočiais. Pylimo PV šlaite įrengti laiptai. 1951 m. piliakalnį aplankė ir matavo Petras Tarasenka, 1981 m. žvalgė MMT. Pačiame piliakalnyje kultūrinio sluoksnio nepastebėta. Viršutinėje terasoje greta piliakalnio aptiktas gyvenvietės kultūrinis sluoksnis, rasta lipdytos lygiu paviršiumi ir apžiestos XIV a. datuojamos keramikos.

ENPypliai hillfort and the adjacent settlement (Kaunas District, Central Lithuania) were created on a promontory of an upper terrace on the left bank of the Nemunas. In October 2017, an investigation was conducted during the execution of a project to put the hillfort in order and adapt it for the public. In creating footpaths and stepped paths, 18 test pits (a total of 21.75 m2 ) were excavated at the sites of the future paths and infrastructure. A valuable settlement-related cultural layer was discovered in test pits 1–2 and 17–8, all of which were located in the N part of the adjacent settlement. Dark soil layers with isolated finds were recorded in the test pits under alluvial and aeolian sand layers. 217 m2 were excavated and it was established that a Palaeolithic camp site, an extant layer from which still survived in the NW part of the trench and continued W beyond the boundaries of the protected territory, had existed in the settlement’s territory. Farming later occurred at this site when the Stone Age layer was disturbed by primitive farming implements. Unfortunately, no pottery allowing this layer to be dated more accurately was discovered. After the hillfort was abandoned in the first half of the 1st millennium, these ancient cultivated fields were also left unused and were covered by aeolian sand. [From the publication]
