High Squid.

The largest of the Bartlow Hills, designated as Roman but perhaps much earlier, is now 15 metres high while the Marlborough Mound is now 20 metres high. Not much in it, in fact it makes you wonder if there mightn’t be a shared and fairly widespread ‘cultural tradition’ at work.

Yes, there's one in Brampton, Cumbria, as well. Big - with a statue on top. Nobody thinks much about it as it's wooded. Listed as a 'motte', I think. Somewhere between Marlborough and Silbury in height.
