The Senojo Daugėliškis hillfort, also known as Kiškio bažnyčia, is a protected cultural monument in the central part of Senojo Daugėliškio village. It was confirmed as an archaeological monument in 1991 and included in the cultural heritage register of the Republic of Lithuania in December 1998. The site is located in a separate hill on what was formerly an island, now surrounded by wet meadows.
The hillfort features an oval area measuring 55 by 70 meters, stretching along a northwest-southeast axis. Its ends are raised to a width of up to 15 meters and a height of 80 cm. In the northwest part of the site, a dark gray cultural layer with a thickness of 50 cm has been identified.
Datable to the second half of the first millennium AD, the site is strongly fortified. It remains a significant cultural landmark, situated near the crossroads of the Senojo Daugėliškis - Andrikavo and Mikalava - Panižiškės roads, and just northwest of Lake Virėkšta.
