An ancient hillfort is located on a hill on the right bank of the Dysnos river, near Ruokiškės, Naujojo Daugėliškio seniūnija, in the Ignalina region. There is an oval platform to the south-west, 44x22 m in size. Other terraces include a 30 m long and 17 m wide platform on the southern slope with cultural layers, and an 18 m wide terrace on the south-western slope.
The site also features a triangular terrace on the north-east slope that is 22 m long and 20 m wide. The slopes vary in height from 4 to 11 m, with structures built on the 4 m top part. The hillfort is believed to date from the second half of the first millennium BC to the beginning of the first millennium BC.
Research on the site began in 1970 with a survey by the Institute of History.
