Bikūnų II, known as Kapų kalnas, is an archaeological site located in the Sudeikiai eldership, north of Bikūnų. It sits on a separate hillock from the first Bikūnų hillfort. While a quarry from the early 20th century destroyed a section of the site with a diameter of up to 30 m, a terrace measuring 15x12 m remains on the northern slope, situated 2 m below the plateau.
