Bielazariškių piliakalnis, also known as Gura zamkova, Pilies kalnas, or Pilis, is a hillfort situated in the Dūkštų seniūnija region in Bielazariškės. To reach it, take the road from Airėnai to Bielazariškės, turn left at the cemetery, and drive up the slope on the right-hand side path - it is 100 m to the left, northwest of the power line. The site features a rectangular area measuring 90x40 m, elongated from the southwest to the northeast.
The hillfort is situated on an elevation where the southeast slope is very gradual, only 1 m high, while the other slopes reach up to 30 m. The site is heavily eroded by wind. The northwest slope is covered by mixed forest, while another part is overgrown with young pines.
In 1971, the Istorijos institutas surveyed the hillfort. No fortifications were found, but a cultural layer with pottery was observed on the edge of the southeast slope. The artifacts are kept by the Lietuvos nacionalinis muziejus. The hillfort dates back to the beginning of the first millennium.
