The circular burial mound measures 80 meters in diameter and 20 meters in height, featuring a complex structure with two connected chambers.

During excavations in 1976, archaeologists discovered a four-wheeled chariot alongside two sacrificial horses arranged in symmetrical positions near the entrance.

The site represents a Thracian cultic complex known as Heroon, combining both temple and mausoleum functions from the 5th-4th centuries BCE.

The archaeological site maintains a water-filled moat of 30 meters width and 4 meters depth, accessed through a cart track from the railway crossing.

The burial mound earned its name from the numerous frogs inhabiting the surrounding moat, which visitors must cross to reach the sanctuary.
