Located west of the village of Beižionių in Elektrėnai municipality, the hillfort known as Beižionių piliakalnis is also called Birutės kalnas. It stands 12 meters high and features a clearing with a diameter of 25 meters. The height of its slopes reaches up to 3 meters in the northwest and about 1 meter in other areas.
Archaeological finds near the hillfort include lipdytinės ceramics from the 1st millennium BC, featuring both smooth and coarse surfaces. Nearby, on the southern side, there are about 60 barrows characterized by stone crowns and burned graves.
It is believed that the hillfort was used between the 6th and 8th centuries.
