Kalvių piliakalnis is a hillfort situated in the northwestern outskirts of the village of Kalviai, in the Tauragnai eldership. It features a large low hill surrounded by a marsh to the south, east, and north, while the west is bordered by a dauba. The western slope reaches a height of 14 meters, while the other slopes are lower and more gradual.
The summit of the hillfort consists of a rectangular platform measuring 75x80 meters. The site is characterized by surface markings from plowing, though significant cultural layers remain in the eastern part of the platform. Archaeological finds include ceramic pieces with a brushed surface, which are attributed to the brushed ceramic culture. The site dates from the first millennium to the beginning of the second millennium.
Preliminary archaeological research was conducted at the site in 1970. The findings from these excavations are currently preserved and safeguarded.
