The Spraudaičių piliakalnis, situated in the Šilalės region, Šilalės county, is flanked by Lakes Jūra and Bardyngia. Rising 56 meters above the landscape, it features an accessible ledge stretching 6 meters wide and 2 meters deep. North of the ledge lies a second platform, concealing a hidden staircase, 4 meters wide and 80 cm deep. Further north, another staircase remains, mostly destroyed, with an 8-meter-wide and 2-meter-deep section surviving in the northeastern coast. The Žemaičiai constructed this fortress to seize control from the Vilkų Lauko piliakalnyje, under the rule of Livonian Order's Georgenburg.
