The Second Darbutuo Hillfort, close to Darbutuo kaimo, is strategically situated between Ariogala and Betygala in Raseinių municipality. constructed in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, it stands as a testament to the region's historic importance. Overlooking the Kilksnatė River, which flows between the hillfort and the rivers Kirkšnovė and Dubysos, the hillfort has dimensions of 25 meters wide and 8 meters high. The imposing gate, also 25 meters by 8 meters, is protected by two moats. A nearby hill, reaching heights of 15 to 20 meters, remains largely inaccessible due to the scarcity of nearby settlements.
