Sližiškių piliakalnis

Sližiškių piliakalnis is a hillfort and settlement site located in the village of Sližiškiai, within the Molėtūnių district. This archaeological site is situated on the right bank of the Bevardžis stream, featuring an oval-shaped courtyard measuring 51 by 36 meters, oriented from north to south. The mound features slopes ranging from 3 to 10 meters in height and is covered with pines and larches.

Archaeological finds within the courtyard include incised pottery and clay plaster. The northern part of the courtyard is washed by the stream. Adjacent to the mound, on a 0.5-hectare area along the western and southern slopes, lies a settlement. Evidence of incised pottery was also found at this settlement location.
