Aronas pilskalns, Archaeological hillfort in Bērzaune Parish, Latvia
The hillfort rises between 10 to 15 meters high with steep walls and features a rectangular plateau measuring 75 meters long and 45 meters wide.
Archaeological evidence indicates intensive habitation during the 11th to 14th centuries, with wooden remains dating back to approximately 220 BCE marking its construction period.
The site incorporates two distinct cultural layers, revealing different periods of occupation and providing insights into ancient settlement patterns of Latvia.
Located 4 kilometers east of Bērzaune near the P37 road connecting Pļaviņas to Madona and Gulbene, the site maintains its original defensive structures.
Two artificial water dams directed water into specific areas, creating defensive ditches that completely separated the hillfort from the surrounding mountain range.
