The Lepelionys Hillfort, nestled in Lepelionys, Prienai County, showcases a four-sided pyramid structure. Standing tall at 15 meters on the western side, the eastern side reaches 7.5 meters in height. The hillfort's northern side boasts a base of 26 square meters, with a height of 2 meters. The oval base, measuring 13x10 meters, was constructed with a height of 2 meters and a width of 12 meters in the hilly terrain. Evidence of pottery and fired clay bricks were found during excavations in 1955 and 1971, hinting at an ancient settlement within the hillfort. Today, it is managed by Lietuvos nacionalinis muziejus.
