The stones are stacked in a square plot surrounded by forest. Site dimensions: from S to N 80 m. and from V to R 75 m. The total area of the object is 0.60 ha (6000 m²). The boulders are stacked in 13 rows with a length of 80 m. In total, about 4,500 stones have been accumulated here. Their size ranges from 0.2 m³ (0.3 m x 0.3 m x 0.3 m) to 4 m³ (2.4 m x 1.5 x 1.1 m). The petrographic composition of the stones is very diverse. There are very decorative boulders made up of several different rocks. These boulders came to Lithuania from Scandinavia during the penultimate icing. The glacier began to shrink from the maximum distribution area before 190-200 thousand years. The stones were brought to the current site from reclaimed fields in 1970-1977 period.
