The Dukurnonys Hillfort, also known as Paukščių Hillfort, Steponiškės Hillfort, or Bobų Hill, is located in the Prienai district, in the village of Dukurnonys, on the southwestern shore of Lake Surmiai. This hillfort features a truncated conical hill, with its eastern and northeastern slopes gently descending to the lake’s shore. The northern, northwestern, southern, and southeastern slopes are surrounded by ditches, while the western and southwestern slopes adjoin the neighboring hill. The hillfort's slopes rise about 14 meters from the side facing the lake and 10 meters from the neighboring hill, enclosing an almost circular platform with a diameter of approximately 8 meters. The platform is bordered by a 1–6 meter high embankment, beyond which remains of a defensive ditch can be seen. This hillfort was well-fortified and serves as an example of miniature hillfort types. It is dated to the end of the 1st millennium BC to the 1st millennium AD.
