Artificial mound in Lithuania

The Eastern shores of the Baltic Sea count many artificial mounds (piliakalnis, plural piliakalniai in Lithuanian).
Seen under the proper angle, the characteristic shape of Šakališkių piliakalnis makes it immediately recognizable.

Signposted along A16/E28 about 20 km East of Marijampolė (see photo underneath).
From that T-junction, drive 400 m on an earth road, take left at the next T-Junction ; after 200 m pass a bridge over a small river ; keep driving and don't despair, and 250 m after that bridge, you will see the hill fort. It is "doable" with an ordinary car, but if you rented it, do not boast having been there when you return it.

Not found any data as to its past history. In the 20th c., following a few preliminary steps, it was upgraded to the status of national monument in 2005.
