The Daniliškių piliakalnis archaeological site, also known as Totorių kalnas or Kopecas, is located in the Trakų district in the southeastern part of the village of Daniliškių, on the northeastern shore of Lake Suosonės.
The site features a hillfort with slopes approximately 30 meters high from the lake surface and 6 meters high from the neighboring hill. At the top of the hill is a platform measuring 35 by 40 meters, with the eastern part being higher than the rest. On the eastern and western edges are fortification markings about 2 meters high and 35 to 40 meters long, ploughed by a plow. An ancient settlement is situated near the hillfort.
Archaeological studies of the site were conducted in 1971, 1978, and 1984. These excavations in the slopes and the settlement revealed remains of cultural layers. Pottery with a molded surface from the 1st millennium BC was found at the site.
