Pagaršvis (Pošvenčio) Hillfort and Settlement is an important cultural and historical site in the Ašminta Municipality of the Prienai District, south of Pagaršvis. The hillfort (cultural monuments registry No. AR819, unique code 5505) and settlement (unique code 22572) can be accessed from the Pociūnai – Ašminta road by turning left toward the south and traveling 900 meters.
The hillfort is located on a hill at the edge of the left bank valley of the Nemunas River. The plateau has an oval, elongated shape (6x4 meters) and is oriented south to north. It is surrounded by a rampart, highest on the west-northwest side (5 meters high, 14 meters wide). On the other sides, the rampart is 1–1.5 meters high and 7 meters wide. The hillfort's slopes are steep, reaching a height of 12–13 meters, with the northern slope and rampart eroded by pits. The hillfort is currently overgrown.
