(0 reviews)

The triangular platform, oriented north-south, measures 32 meters in length and widens to 45 meters at its northern end. The northern edge stands 1.5 meters higher. To the northeast, there is a 65-meter-long, 1-meter-high, and 8-meter-wide embankment, with its outer slope rising to 3 meters in height. On the northwest slope, just 1.5 meters below the platform, there is a slight terrace, likely the remnants of an ancient entrance. To the north and east of the hillfort's summit, a depression up to 4 meters deep and 20 meters wide defines the slopes, varying in steepness from 4 meters in the northeast to 20 meters high.

the soil layers of the lower slopes. Only 400 meters to the northwest lies the Aukštieji Rusokai burial mound, revealing its history during excavations in 1974 and dating from the 5th to the 12th century. The history of the hillfort dates back to the period from the beginning of the 1st millennium to the early 2nd millennium AD, unveiling an ancient settlement now shrouded in legends and mysteries of the past. To reach this archaeological site, take the Bukiškės-Gudeliai road, formerly known as the old Ukmergė highway. When the road rises from the valley to the hill, turn right at the forest on the left side, and after 100 meters, north of the homesteads, the hillfort emerges as a testament to a bygone era.
