The stone structure stands among the mountain ridges, featuring large granite blocks arranged in a distinctive architectural pattern near the town center.

The megalith dates from the Thracian period between the 12th and 5th centuries BCE, representing ancient engineering methods in southeastern Europe.

Local inhabitants named such structures 'dragon houses', connecting them to regional myths and incorporating them into their traditional narratives.

The monument remains accessible through marked pathways from the central square, with information panels providing details about its construction methods.

The structure maintains its original south-facing orientation, aligning with other megalithic monuments found across the Bulgarian mountains.
