Moteraitis is shrouded in legends and tales. There are stories about two giants, Sprūdis and Moteraitis, who exchanged swords, a church that stood on a hill and sank into the ground, fairies, and much more. The name of the hillfort comes from its silhouette, which resembles the figure of a reclining woman. The eastern part of the hill resembles a woman's head from a distance, while the two-part elevation in the center of the hill resembles a chest, and the rest of the hill, sloping to the west, resembles a woman's body lying down to rest. According to historian A. Butrimas, the hillforts of Sprūdis and Moteraičio, Lake Gludo, Sklepkalnis, located in a wooded hollow at the foot of Moteraičio and on the shore of the lake (believed to be a former hillfort), and the burial ground in the territory of the present-day Pavandenė Church are all typical Baltic defense and cult centers and part of the defensive and political system of the Medininkai region. The hillfort is located on the highest part of a massive elevation, rising almost 219 m above sea level. The southern part of the hilltop is 3 m higher than the northern part. It features a 60x30 m elevation, resembling a hilltop, whose shape is reminiscent of the nearby mighty Girgždūtė. At the highest point of the hill stands a wooden cross, which from afar draws the attention of travelers to this impressive hill – a former fortress. The cultural layer appears to have shifted slightly and has been found on the terrace of the hill. Fragments of molded pottery from the 1st millennium AD have been found here.
