Kudinų piliakalnis, located in Šiaulėnai, Lithuania, is a hidden hill fortress that dates back to the 1st millennium. Discovered in 1903 by Liudvikas Kšivickis, archaeological studies were conducted in 1967. The fortress is 1,3 kilometers from other hills and stands 12-18 meters high. The center is marked by a cross. The fortress is surrounded by a 10-meter-deep ditch, with a 6-meter-wide terrace in the southern part. The hills have been fortified with palisades on top. A residential area of 2.5 hectares was found near the hills of Kudinų piliakalnis. To the west, approximately 150 meters, is Varpinės kalnas, where human bones and artifacts were found.
