Tucked away in Pivašiūnų seniūnija, a seemingly serene part of Alytaus county, lies Pivašiūnai. Beneath its calm exterior, however, lies a mysterious hillfort. The oval-shaped clearing spans 52x23 meters and contains a cultural layer where modeled ceramics were discovered. On the western edge of this clearing, there is a rampart 0.3 meters high and 8 meters wide. To the southwest and south, there is a terrace 20-30 meters wide located 8 meters below the clearing, sloping down 1 meter to the south.
