Lepelionys hillfort, Archaeological hillfort in Stakliškės Eldership, Lithuania.
The Lepelionys hillfort stands out with its quadrangular pyramid shape, rising above the landscape of Prienai district with sloping sides and a small top platform.
Ancient texts document the presence of a wooden castle on this site, while archaeological excavations revealed heat-burnt stones, pottery fragments, and metal artifacts.
Local folklore connects the hillfort to Napoleon's campaign, suggesting his soldiers buried his hat during their march between Paris and Moscow, forming this mound.
