Located in Balčių miške, Tauragnų seniūnija, a tranquil forest on the edge of Urviškės, Ūdriškių piliakalnis – more commonly known as Lord's Hill – is a registered archaeological site in Lithuania. Shaped like a rectangle, with a width of 15 meters and a length of 8 meters, the site spans an area of 21,000 m².
The construction and restoration of Lord's Hill date back to the 1st millennium AD. The lower two terraces, situated around 2 meters below the highest point, are made of stone. The hill's approximate height is between 20-22 meters, though precise measurements have yet to be recorded.
The mystery surrounding Lord's Hill continues to intrigue. Some speculate it was built for defensive purposes, while others suggest it was a religious site. Regardless of its function, it stands as a testament to the past, a reminder of the lives of those who once inhabited this land.
