A mound of conical shape, 4.5 meters high and 50 meters in diameter. The kurgan belonged to a kurgan burial ground that was destroyed during the construction of a residential block. Kurgans #1, 2, 3, and 4 of the kurgan burial ground, which were excavated by the Dnieper Expedition in 1927-1929, were located within 0.7-2.5 kilometers from it.
During the construction of the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant, many archaeological sites were flooded. To detect and study them, the Dnipro Archaeological Expedition was formed, led by academician D. Yavornytsky.
During this expedition, the kurgans of the kurgan burial ground were excavated, which included an archaeological site known as the Borodynske kurgan.
It is known that the site belongs to the Copper and Bronze Age of the Scythian and Sarmatian settlement period.
