The Sadūniškių piliakalnis is a hillfort located in the Jauniūnų eldership of the Širvintos district. It is situated 1.3 km from the Širvintos - Maišiagala - Liukonyse intersection, accessed through a forest and fields, and lies south of a power line.
The hillfort is situated on a separate hill surrounded by marshes to the north, west, and south. It features an oval courtyard measuring 20x10 meters, oriented from northwest to southeast. Molded ceramics have been found within this area. On the western slope, 2 meters below the courtyard, there is a 2-meter wide terrace that likely existed on other slopes as well. The slopes are of medium height, reaching 6 meters.
The hillfort is surrounded by trenches, though the southwestern side shows marks from quarrying. Pits have been dug into the western and eastern slopes. Dated to the 1st millennium BC, the site is protected by an act of the Real Estate Cultural Heritage Assessment Council from 2006. The territory of the monument covers an area of 0.67 hectares.
