In the Trakai eldership, within the Daniliškės Archaeological Museum and near the oldest Old Believers' village in Lithuania, Daniliškės, established in 1548, and Lake Sasonė, stands the hillfort of the same name. Locally, it is sometimes referred to as Tatar Hill. This name arose from the belief that Tatars once settled near the hillfort, although archaeologists have found no evidence to support this. The hillfort is situated on a massive hill with steep slopes. At the eastern and western ends of the hillfort's platform, approximately 2 meters high and 45 meters long rampart fragments are noticeable. Archaeological excavations conducted near the hillfort revealed an ancient settlement where people lived during the first millennium. This was determined by archaeological findings, including hand-molded ceramics with a rough surface. These findings are preserved in the Lithuanian National Museum.
