The 14-meter stone structure in the bend of Verknė's river: A 3000-year-old

In the bend of the Verknė river, a 14-meter high stone structure, now referred to as a hillfort, has stood the test of time for centuries. Archaeological investigations in 1953, 1971, and 1994 unearthed cultural strata up to 1.3 meters deep and uncovered artifacts such as lithics, ceramics, and a stone structure in the northern part of the excavated area. The structure, PROTECTED_AS_CULTURAL_HERITAGE_SITE, was built, rebuilt, and reburied twice. Its original purpose remains unknown, but it was likely used for making lime, querns, and later for pottery. The hillfort gained significance in 1998 when it was declared a cultural heritage monument by the Lithuanian government.
