Artificial Mound in Lithuania
Artificial mound dated late 1st millennium - early 2nd millennium AD.
It derives its name from being built on the left bank of the small Bambena river, which flows at its foot to the North (this photo shows the southern slope).
Several versions of a legend linger around this mound, implying that Demburis, the last Worshipper of the Thunder, would be be buried hereunder. Hence its alternate name : Dembavaragio piliakalnis, sometimes (erroneously) spelled Dambavaragio piliakalnis.
Recently (after July 2012) signposted along road 1112, at (54.4281,23.6014).
A stair allows to climb to the top.
Information board at the foot of the mound.
