Armališkių piliakalnis is a hill fort situated in a separate hill. The valley to the south has been drained of peat, while small hills on other sides separate it from surrounding heights. The oval-shaped clearing measures 22x14 meters, stretching in a northeast - southwest direction. On the western slope, there is a terrace 40 meters wide. The slopes stand about 4-5 meters high.
The hill fort dates from the 1st millennium BC to the beginning of the 1st millennium AD. It is very grassy, covered with brushwood, and features a pine grove on the northwest slope.
In the northern and southern foothills, a settlement is located on a 0.2 ha plot where pottery with decorative patterns was found. The site is documented in historical records including the 1973 and 1993 lists of cultural monuments and G. Zabiela's 2001 work on hill forts in the Utena region.
