The Ąžuolpamūšė/Dabužiai Hillfort dates to the 9th-13th century. It is situated on a highland promontory, facing the River Mūša, at the confluence of the two rivers, Tatula and Ūgė. The site used to be circular, about 50 m in diameter, with two ramparts. Due to significant edge erosion, it is now quadrangular (60x36 m), with a promontory 30 m long and 1.3-5 m wide. The slopes are steep and 7-10 m high. The 0.7 ha site includes a foothill settlement. A 50-130 cm thick cultural layer was found at the site, with stone furnaces, a hearth, pillar sites, part of an iron spear, awls, a brass pendant, parts of pins, chains, silver wire, coarse and smooth pottery, and animal bones. The finds of Ąžuolpamūšė Hillfortcan be viewed at Pasvalys Museum. Visiting the hillfort, you can feel the aura of almost a thousand years of history. In pagan times there was a defensive castle here, the remains of which can still be seen on a high hill outside Pasvalys at the confluence of the Tatula and the Mūša (VUB, Fund A-3862.
