The Bakšėnai Hillfort, formed between the 1st millennium BC and the early 1st millennium AD, is an important archaeological site located near Bakšėnai village on the right bank of the Pyvesa River. Nearby was the Nodiejškiai burial mound cemetery, dating from the 2nd to the 5th centuries (now destroyed).
In 1968–1969 and 1990, the Lithuanian Institute of History conducted excavations here, revealing flat and grooved pottery, a bone arrowhead, bronze jewelry, and stone millstones. The findings are preserved in the National Museum of Lithuania in Vilnius.
In 1992, the hillfort was included in the Cultural Heritage Register, designated a cultural monument in 1998, and declared a state-protected heritage site in 2005. Although agriculture has caused some damage, it remains an important symbol of Lithuania's historical legacy.
Visit the Bakšėnai Hillfort to learn more about Lithuania's archaeological past and the region's cultural heritage.
