Nemenčinės piliakalnis is a hillfort located in the northern part of Nemenčinė city, within the territory of the Nemenčinė elderate. The fort is situated on a high ridge on the right bank of the Nemenčė river, in a confluence with the preserved Upelis river. To the north of the hillfort's rampart lies a counter-rampart. The site is also known as Piliakalnis.
In 1338, the Nemenčinė land castle stood on this hillfort. The site is dated from the 1st to the 4th centuries and from the beginning of the 2nd millennium to the 14th century.
Between 1952 and 1954, archaeologist Pranas Kulikauskas researched the courtyard of the hillfort and the western part of the site. He created sections of the rampart, counter-rampart, and mound, and examined part of the counter-rampart's courtyard.
