The 1st-2nd century hillfort hidden in Dievogalos forest

In Dievogalos forest, surrounded by steep slopes and statues, a secret hillfort waits, hidden for centuries. Its position matches Balnaraviu.

The hillfort is located on the slope of Dievogalos, near Kačerginės, Kačerginės seniūnija. It is at an elevation in Dievogalos right bank, whose position matches Balnaraviu. The oval-shaped hillfort has a height of 9 meters and a width of 10 meters. Statues can be found on the hill, standing at 20 meters high. The hillfort, created in the 1st to 2nd century AD, is a protected territory by the Lithuanian Republic's Culture Ministry. It was first identified in 1972 by the History Institute.
