Juškaičių piliakalnis ir gyvenvietė, vadinamas Pilutės kalnu- iškilęs Taruagės rajone, Juškaičių kaime, Skaudvilės seniūnijoje. Karšuvos valsčiaus inventoriuje minimas šiose apylinkėse gyvenęs bajoras Stanislovas Juškevičius. Dėl jo asmenvardžio gyvenvietė įgavo Juškaičių kaimo pavadinimą.
Juškaičių piliakalnis įrengtas atskiroje kalvoje. Aikštelė ovali, pailga. Pietiniame jos gale būta pylimo, šiuo metu yra išlikęs tik nedidelis kauburys. Šiaurinis pilialalnio kampas nukastas žvyriui. Pilutė nėra apaugusi medžiais, todėl užlipus ant jos smagu pasivaikščioti, pasižvalgyti. Sprendžiant iš formų, galima spėti, kad piliakalnis iškilo ir medinis pilis ant jo pastatyta II-ojo tūkstantmečio pradžioje. Piliakalnio papėdėje yra senovės gyvenvietė. Apie 450 m. į šiaurės rytus yra Pabambių kapinynas.
Jei kalnas nebūtų toks keistas, tikėtina, būtų visu užmirštas, kaip užmiršta jo paties istorija. Dabar vien nepaprasta jo išvaizda stebina ir baugina kiekvieną. Mat jis primena milžinišką kapą ar karstą. Pasakojama, kad aplink kalną randami nepaprastos išvaizdos daiktai: milžinų žiedų, senovės puodų šukių su ženklais, metalinių dirbinių.
