Pieštvė, Archaeological hillfort in Seredžius Eldership, Lithuania.
Pieštvė is an archaeological hillfort located in Seredžius Eldership in Lithuania that sits on elevated ground with visible defensive earthworks. The site features layered ramparts and ditches that have shaped the landscape over centuries and remain visible to visitors today.
This fortification was established around the 13th century and served as a defensive position against medieval invasions and threats to the region. It developed as a response to the military pressures facing communities at that time.
This site represents one of over 1000 hillforts across Lithuania that show how ancient communities organized their settlements and defended their land. The earthwork ramparts tell the story of generations who lived here and protected their territory.
The site can be reached by marked walking trails, with information boards explaining the archaeological findings along the way. Wear sturdy footwear as the ground is uneven and can be muddy depending on recent weather conditions.
Advanced excavation techniques have uncovered hidden earthwork layers beneath the vegetation that were not visible before. These discoveries reveal that the fortification was larger and more complex than early investigations suggested.
