Naujasodžio piliakalnis is a piliakalnis located in the territory of the Prienų district, south of Šilavotas. It is situated on a hill at the edge of a field, accessible via a path from the Šilavotas - Pašlavantis road. Two signs stand near the site, pointing toward the piliakalnis and the Šilavoto Davtakyna.
The fortification is situated on the hilltop on the right bank of the Lašašos stream. A 4x7 m fragment of a former square remains, oriented northwest to southeast. It is surrounded by a 3 m high wall, 19 m wide, with an outer slope of 4-5 m leading into a 12 m wide, 1 m deep ditch. The site is surrounded by pines and the wall is decorated with pits and trenches.
The piliakalnis is dated to the 1st millennium – beginning of the 2nd millennium. In 2005, an order from the Minister of Culture recognized the 4200 m² area as a state-protected monument. In 1954, the Institute of History conducted a survey of the site.
