The Hidden Archaeological Site of Antaraisčių piliakalnis

The Hidden Archaeological Site of Antaraisčių piliakalnis

Located in the Molėtų region, this unassuming mound is likely constructed in the 1st millennium and little is known about its purpose. Despite the lack of cultural artifacts, the construction of this hidden site still raises questions.

Antaraisčių piliakalnis, a hidden archaeological site, is located in the Molėtų region, near Mintaučių and Sidabrinės cape, Suginčių seniūnija. The mound, which has a square base, is approximately 1 meter in average width and 21 meters in height, surrounded by a ditch filled with soil. The entrance to the mound is somewhat hidden, as there are no visible paths or roads nearby. The paths to Antaraisčių piliakalnis turn left at a fork in the trail, passing through a clearing, then continue for 50 meters to the right of a mound with two stone jars on top, then turning again in a square quarter to the left of another fork, then continuing for approximately 300 meters - a total of 430 meters, meeting with the fork at the left fork and continuing 50 meters.
