Dūkštelių piliakalnis, also known as Putrakalnis, is a unique archaeological site with the code 33310. It is located in the Dūkšto seniūnija, situated 350 meters southwest of Dūkšto piliakalnis. The site is found on the southern shore of the lake, accessible from the Vilnius-Švenčionys-Zarasai road by turning left toward Salakas.
The hillfort features an oval clearing that is 11 by 7 meters wide, oriented east-west. The clearing is made of natural clay and reaches a height of 2 meters at its western side, while the ends of the clearing drop to a height of 0.3 meters and a width of 7 meters. The slopes of the site are rocky and reach heights of 4 to 6 meters.
Ruined by excavators of the past, the site shows a northern slope that has been eroded by the lake. The clearing is currently overgrown with grass, and the slopes are covered in shrubs. The site dates back to the first millennium and was entered into the Cultural Heritage Register in December 2009.
