Inčėnų piliakalnis, Archaeological monument in Vītiņi Parish, Latvia.

The hillfort stands on a trapezoidal hill measuring 220 meters long and up to 160 meters wide near the Aviknė River bank.

The fortification served as a strategic point for the Zemgale people in 1272 before the construction of the Livonian Order's castle.

The name Inčėnai originates from a nearby village, while Duobė refers to the Zemgale term for river confluence.

Access to the hillfort requires turning off the P96 road that connects Ierikiai and Saldus, leading directly to the site.

The western slope rises between 8 to 10 meters high while the eastern side measures 4 to 6 meters in elevation.
