A Pristine Iron Age Hillfort: Varkališkės II Unveiled

Delve into the hidden past of Varkališkės II, an Iron Age hillfort, concealed within Lithuanian woodlands

The Varkališkės II hillfort, situated in the Kruonio seniūnija territory, offers a significant sight. Dating back to the Iron Age and buried in a forest, this registered archaeological site is accessible via several paths.

The walls, reaching up to 18 meters in height in certain areas, feature double walls in others. A wide ditch circles the entire structure.
