Biloniai Hillfort

Biloniai Hillfort is an archaeological site featuring earthen mounds and defensive works on a raised landform in Lithuania. The remaining structures include banks and ditches that once supported a fortified settlement used during medieval times.

Settlement began during the Iron Age and continued through medieval periods with ongoing defensive use. Artifacts recovered from excavations trace occupation and development across different time spans.

The site shows how communities chose elevated positions as defense points and centers of their daily life. The hillfort layout reflects ancient priorities about safety and control over surrounding territories.

The site is accessible through marked walking paths and open to visitors throughout the year. You can walk around and inspect the earthworks at your own pace with good visibility from the hilltop.

The hillfort served as both a defensive position and a residential center where everyday life unfolded. This dual purpose reveals how ancient communities integrated security with daily living activities.
