The Antatilčių II pile dwelling, one of two in the territory of Ukmergės rajono savivaldybė, is located approximately 2 km west-northwest from Antatilčių I pile dwelling. It was built in the territory of Siesarties and Žydaupio dešiniuosiuose krantuose, their confluence. The structure is a tri identification which is about 30 m long and 15 m wide in the western part. The western part of the structure dates back to the 1st century AD and was enclosed by two walls. The structure is about 2.5 m tall. Each wall has a tower, 12 m tall. The towers alone stand to this day. Siesarties ceased to exist in the 2nd century AD, and the pile dwelling was buried under a clump of trees. The only remaining part is the southern tower. The cliff Alkakalniu, 200 m to the east, is known for its inscription.
