Antilgės piliakalnis is a hillfort situated in the Utenos district, near the village of Krikštoniai on the northwest shore of Lake Sylio. The site is built on a separate hill, forming a rectangular area measuring 85 by 47 metres. It stretches in an east - west direction, with the southern part dropping two metres to create a slope.
Archaeological finds at the site include stone axes with handle holes, bone needles, and both smooth and rough pottery. The hillfort is dated to the first millennium BC - the middle of the first millennium BC. It is heavily covered in grass, while the western and northern slopes remain covered with trees.
No clear traces of fortifications remain on the site. The slopes of the hillfort reach heights of between 8 and 25 metres. The site is located approximately 500 metres northwest of the destroyed Juknėnų hillfort, which dates to the middle of the first millennium BC.
