The Gop ({{lang-cy|Coparleni}}) is a neolithic mound{{Elucidate|Why call this mound neolithic? Is it a human construct, built in the neolithic age? If not built by humans in that period, why is it called neolithic?|date=August 2016}} lying north of Trelawnyd in Flintshire, Wales, in the Clwydian Range. DescriptionOval in form, it is the second-largest neolithic mound in Britain after Silbury Hill. Excavations have discovered prehistoric remains both in the caves below and in the mound itself.[1] Excavations have uncovered no burial chambers or other underground works, which may indicate that it was used as a look-out or hill fort; there is evidence that there was a considerable amount of stone on the top of hill. In the 17th century, its prominent position allowed a beacon to be placed there. The mound lies on top of Gop Hill (823 feet), a natural limestone outcrop, in the side of which are the Gop Caves.
