Wormy Hillock Henge, Neolithic henge monument in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
The circular structure features an earthen bank and inner ditch enclosing a central platform measuring 16.5 meters in diameter with a southeastern entrance point.
The construction of this prehistoric monument dates back to the Neolithic period and received official scheduled monument designation status on July 6, 1973.
Local folklore connects the site to a legend about villagers who killed a dragon and buried it beneath the mound, giving rise to its name.
Visitors need to walk two miles along a forest track from Mytice to Finglenny, then follow a path for 50 meters after crossing Ealachie Burn.
The henge contains two small pits on its bank and includes several causeways crossing a one-meter-deep ditch that surrounds the central platform.
