Jaurelio piliakalnis is a hillfort located in the municipal territory to the north of Jaurelių village. The site consists of an oval clearing measuring 75x40 meters, with the eastern end being slightly narrower. The western edge of the clearing sits about 0.5 meters lower than the rest of the area, and the surrounding slopes reach a height of about 10 meters.
The cultural layer remains preserved within the clearing and the slopes of the mound. In the fourth decade of the 20th century, stone axes were found, dating back to the period between the late first millennium BC and the beginning of the first millennium AD.
Archaeological research was conducted at the site in 1970 by the Lietuvos istorijos institutas, and again in 1985 by archaeologists from the Mokslinės metodinės kultūros paminklų apsaugos taryba. The remains recovered during these investigations are currently preserved at the Lietuvos nacionalinis muziejus.
