Raktuvės kalnas, Archaeological hillfort in Žagarė Eldership, Lithuania
The Raktuvės kalnas hillfort features defensive structures with earthworks, ramparts, and ditches spread across a trapezoidal area measuring 55 by 68 meters.
Archaeological investigations in 1956 and 1999 revealed remains of wooden buildings from the 13th century and a manor house from the 15th to 18th centuries.
The site contains numerous artifacts including bronze and iron items, pottery fragments, and household objects that document daily life from the 13th to 17th centuries.
Located 700 meters west of the second Žagarė hillfort, visitors can access the site by taking the road from Žagarė toward Naujoji Akmenė.
The hillfort stands at a strategic elevation point, where German settlers constructed a wooden castle during the medieval period according to findings from 2010.
