Galinių Hillfort, also known as Papušys or Pilikė, stands on a separate hill surrounded by wet meadows. The site is round, about 20 meters long and 18 meters wide, with slopes 8–9 meters high. A 16-meter-long, 1-meter-high rampart lies on the northern side. Southeast of the hillfort, beyond a marshy meadow, a 1-hectare settlement once existed at the base. Rough ceramics found in the cultural layer of the settlement match those from Papiliai Hillfort and Paklibakiai settlement, suggesting these sites were contemporaneous with a nearby burial ground.
The hillfort dates back to the 1st millennium to early 2nd millennium. It has been damaged by plowing and is now overgrown with spruces and shrubs.
