Pilsupiai, in Krakiai Eldership, Lithuania, is a strategic hillfort shaped by glacial moraines. Excavations near the site revealed lygiosios pottery shards, indicating human habitation from the Iron Age to the Early Middle Ages. Positioned on a natural promontory where the Šušvė River meets the Paupelys tributary, the hillfort offers a strategic vantage point. Its platform measures 45 by 37 meters, though years of erosion have affected the reinforced slopes. Today, the hillfort is partially affected by adjacent water bodies.
