Prūdiškių, a hill fort in Švenčionių regional municipality, is tucked away on the edge of Peršokšnos ežero shore, near Budrių village in Labanoro elderate. The site can be reached by a trail from the Kaltanėnai – Molėtai highway, turning left at the 4th link to Lakajos, then left again at the 3rd link to Budrių, before continuing about 420 meters to the north, reaching Prūdiškių village. Dated to the 1st millennium BC, the hill fort is included in the List of Cultural Heritage Monuments of the Republic of Lithuania (registration number 11) and has an earthen rampart with an oval shape, runnings 45x15-meters towards the eastern side. A 14-meter wide platform lies 2.5 meters below the surface of the oval-shaped mound, and the hill fort structures reach up to 20 meters in height. The hill fort was discovered and excavated in 1973 by the Institute of History.
