Gudiškių piliakalnis, also known as Čedasų or Daliečių, is an archaeological site and hill fort located in Juodupės seniūnija.

Gudiškių piliakalnis, known by the names Čedasų or Daliečių, is a hill fort located in Juodupės seniūnija, to the east of Čedaso ežeras. The site can be reached from the road Onuškis - Čedasai by turning north into the forest and traveling for a distance to the right, near a cleared forest area.

The hill fort is situated on the southern side of a separate long hill. The courtyard is oval and elongated in the north-south direction, measuring 19x15 m. The slopes are 5-6 m high, except for the northern slope which is only 1.5 m high and built on the top 1.5 m of the slope.

The site is surrounded by trees, and the southern slope has been excavated by an open-pit quarry. The courtyard is grass-covered, and the slopes are covered with juniper. The hill fort was inspected by the Institute of History in 1949 and is dated to the beginning of the 1st millennium.
