Near the village of Antalgė in the Leliūnų seniūnija region, there is a hillfort known as Antalgės piliakalnis. This oval-shaped fortification measures 13x9 meters and is located near a small, nummulitic marsh. The hillfort has slopes of medium height reaching up to 8 meters and is heavily covered with grass and thickets.
Archaeological findings at the site include ceramics that are both smooth and coarse, as well as ceramics that resemble bricks and are grooved. In 1986, Gintautas Zabiela researched the entire 80 square meter area of the hillfort. During this study, a stone floor measuring 3x0.5 meters was identified.
This site is dated to the beginning of the 1st millennium. Visitors can reach the site from the Kaunas-Zarasai road by turning south toward Avižieniai, traveling 1.1 km, and walking 400 meters through the fields past the local buildings.
