Pakalniškiai hillfort - a 1st millennium BC archaeological site

The archaeological site known as Pakalniškiai hillfort is located on the right bank of the Daugyvenė river, near the village of Pakalniškiai. This hillfort is dated to the 1st millennium BC. The site features a clearing in the shape of an irregular triangle, measuring 25 m long and 15 m wide at the northeast end, with slopes reaching 6-8 m in height.

In 1986 and 1996, archaeological excavations were conducted by Bronius Dakanis. In 1986, a 0.3 m² area at the edges of the southwest and southeast parts of the clearing was examined, where stone floors, burning items, and a molded comb were found. In 1996, a 5 m² area was explored, again revealing stone floors.

Research on the site was published in publications such as Archeologiniai tyrinėjimai Lietuvoje 1996 ir 1997 metais (1998) and Kultūros paminklai (2001). The site is also listed in the list of newly explained history and culture monuments from 1995.
