Šiuraičiū piliakalnis, a site in the Klaipėda region, near the Mockaičiai village, Veiviržėna seniūnija, is accessible from the Gargždai – Švėkšna road, lying 1.1 kilometers from the Kuisio river. Dating back to the 1st century, this site is one of the oldest surviving entrances to the human world from the Iron Age. The site's shape is oval, approximately 65x45 meters in size, and features statues that stand 20 meters tall. The first electrical line passed through this site in an unusual manner, turning left towards the evening and leading to sights now visible 500 meters away. Šiuraičiū piliakalnis is listed in the 1973 List of Cultural Assets of the Lithuanian SSR.
