Palatavys hillfort
Palatavys hillfort is an archaeological site in Andrioniškis Eldership made up of earthen mounds and walls that mark an ancient settlement. The land formations show where wooden buildings once stood and how defensive structures shaped the terrain.
The hillfort was built hundreds of years ago as a fortified settlement where wooden buildings sat on earthen mounds. Over centuries, some structures deteriorated, but the remaining earthworks still show how the ancient community organized its defenses.
The hillfort serves as a place where local visitors connect with the landscape through walking and exploration on weekends and during festivals. The earthworks and mounds stand as physical reminders of how ancient communities organized their settlements and defense systems in this region.
The site can be explored on foot year-round, with comfortable shoes recommended for walking the earthen paths. Spring and summer offer the best visiting times when the land looks green and walking routes are clear.
Archaeological digs at the site have uncovered small artifacts that show how people lived hundreds of years ago and what tools they used. These discoveries help researchers understand the daily activities and resources of the ancient settlement.
