This is supposed to be one of the larger complex neolithic sites in Scotland though obviously buried and only revealed by the excavations for the bypass road. I can't find the Droughduil mound on TMA, which is supposed to have similarities with Silbury Hill. But reading the stories on this excavation round the beginning of this century....

This made it into the Metro, so it went beyond archaeological blogs :)

Amazing site, just shows how much there is still there, just below the surface. At least until it gets destroyed forever, anyway.
