Paserninkų piliakalnis is a hillfort and settlement located in the village of Paserninkai within the Lazdijai district. The site is reached by traveling 650 meters from the road to Mikabalia, turning right toward the west. The location is situated 100 meters to the right, north of the road.
The hillfort is situated on a separate hill with a circular courtyard 15 meters in diameter. The slopes are of medium height, reaching 8-9 meters. The area is covered with grass and birch trees, and wild oak grows on the southern slope. On a 0.5-hectare plot on the southern and eastern slopes, there is a settlement of oak trees where flint has been found.
In 1954, the Historical Institute examined the hillfort, which dates back to the beginning of the 1st millennium. An order was issued on April 29, 2005, to recognize the site as a state-protected monument. The memorial territory covers an area of 2.3 hectares, with a physical protection zone of 14,000 square meters.
