Antabaltės piliakalnis is a hillfort situated in the Tauragnų seniūnija, located near the village of Antabaltės. It can be reached from the Sirvydžiai-Minčia road by turning left at the western end of Lake Antabaltės and traveling about 800 meters along a path to the right in the south.
The hillfort is situated on a separate mound on the northern shore of Lake Balčių. It features an oval clearing oriented in a west-southwest to east-northeast direction, measuring 25x15 meters. On the western slope, 5 meters below the clearing, there is a triangular terrace 14 meters long and 14 meters wide, which is lower in the western part.
On the southern side of the hillfort, there is a terrace measuring 50x30 meters. The slopes are of medium height, reaching 5 meters in the south and 7 meters in the northwest. Dated to the 1st millennium BC and the beginning of the 1st millennium AD, the site shows no signs of fortifications or cultural layers. The hillfort is surrounded by haystacks and is overgrown with pines, though the center and the west-southwest part of the clearing are currently grassy.
