Klausučių piliakalnis, also known as Velnio Pilis, is a hillfort located in the Širvėna eldership, near the village of Klausučiai. The hill is defined by a ditch that is 7-8 meters wide and 1 meter deep. The slopes are 3-4 meters high and have been reinforced by trenches in some places.
The site features an oval-shaped area measuring 30x20 meters, oriented towards the PR-ŠV direction. It was constructed at the end of a separate heap of burial mounds. Although the hill was once ploughed, it is now overgrown with grass and weeds.
To reach the site, travel along the Biržų-Vabalninko plain and turn right at the railway crossing. Drive 650 meters toward the Klausučiai cemetery, then follow a field path for the final 200 meters, turning north at the last curve. The site is situated 50 meters to the east of the cemetery in a wet meadow among the trees.
