This is the Jonėnų piliakalnis, a hillfort located on an island in Lake Asveja. The site measures 170 by 30 metres and is situated in the Molėtai district, near the village of Jonėnai.
The hillfort is on a 2.3 hectare island. The area features an oval-shaped clearing that is 1 metre high in the middle and 1 to 1.5 metres high at the edges. It is surrounded by steep slopes reaching 10 to 11 metres in height.
Pottery with cord-marked decorations was found at the site. Today, the hillfort is overgrown with bushes and scattered pines. It is a protected cultural heritage monument with an area of 2.15 hectares.
To reach the site, take the Sužionys-Jonėnai road to the shore of Asveja. From the shore, travel west towards a recreation area and then 800 metres across the lake to the island.
