On its east and west side, the castle stable was isolated from the site by a ditch, the eastern arched ditch is eleven meters wide and three to four meters deep towards the castle hill, and about one meter deep towards the outside. The western trench is 14 meters wide, six meters inward and about one meter deep outward.

The level castle hill has an area of ​​about 350 square meters with a length of 30 meters and a width of 12 to 16 meters. All of its pages have been artificially steepened. The only traces of building are a rampart elevation on the east side and a 2.7 meter long, 1.5 meter wide and 1.3 meter deep pit on the southwest edge. In this pit, under the humus, there is tiled hut clay , which probably came from a fire.
