'artificial' hills in Poland

Just got back from Crackow, Poland, where they are restoring a Kopiec. It's an artificial hill 34m high - and sits on the small plateau of one of the city's hills.
It has the same dimesions as Silbury, but looks so huge when you get up close.
Like Silbury, it's damaged; water mostly, so its undergoing a substantial restoration.
It was built in 1820-23, so quite recent, and therefore some record of how it was built exists.

Is that the hill with the 'sunbeam' style arms radiating out from it?. I came across a similar site on the web in Russia i think, though sadly i can't find the link i had for it.

Actually there are four mounds in Krakow including two from the 7th century. On one of them archaeologists have discovered pagan artifacts.
