(0 reviews)

This hillfort, also known as Bogušiškiai, Radiščiai, or Piliakalnis, is situated on a hill at the edge of the valley on the right bank of the Audra Stream. Its oval, elongated platform is higher on the western edge. Archaeological findings of corded, rough, and smooth ceramics fragments testify to the existence of an ancient settlement. The southern slope features two terraces, with slopes reaching heights of up to 18 meters. The upper part of the slopes, 2–3 meters high, was artificially constructed.

A settlement once existed at the southern foothill, covering an area of 0.5 hectares. About 100 meters to the southeast, a burial site from the 3rd–4th centuries CE was excavated in 1939, although it was later destroyed. The hillfort is dated to the end of the 1st millennium BCE through the middle of the 1st millennium CE and is a valuable archaeological and historical heritage site in Lithuania.
