Bubiai hillfort, Ancient hillfort in Siauliai District, Lithuania

The hillfort stands on an elevated terrain with steep slopes reaching heights of 14 meters above the Dubysa River valley below.

Archaeological excavations between 1902 and 1911 revealed multiple settlement layers containing artifacts from the 11th to 14th centuries.

The site contained evidence of medieval life including iron keys, knives, arrow tips, and carbonized grains of wheat, barley, and rye.

Visitors reach the hillfort by taking a 250-meter walk south from the dam across Dubysa River, following the A12 Riga-Siauliai-Taurage road.

The oval-shaped fortress platform measures 80 by 35 meters and features a 4.5-meter-high defensive rampart on its southeastern edge.
