The Papiliai Hillfort, dating to the late 1st millennium BC and early 1st millennium AD, lies near Papiliai. Although partially damaged by plowing and overgrown with birch trees, the site has yielded fragments of corded, rough, and polished ceramics, along with slag. Nearby, remnants of an ancient settlement include shards of handmade pottery.
Studied by Ludwik Krzywicki in 1903, Petras Tarasenka in 1943, and the Lithuanian Institute of History in 1969, its artifacts are preserved in the Kupiškis Ethnography Museum. Added to the Register of Cultural Properties in 1997, it was declared a cultural monument in 1998 and became a state-protected heritage site in 2005.
Papiliai Hillfort is a significant historical site, inviting visitors to delve into Lithuania's rich history and archaeological heritage. It is a compelling destination for those exploring the country's cultural monuments.
