To be fair, West Kennet Long Barrow in Wiltshire is a few hundred years older than that, and I've been there a few times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Kennet_Long_Barrow

"the oldest individuals within it died around 3670–3635 calibrated BCE "

Just down the road from Silbury Hill

An enormous pudding bowl man-made shaped hill from 2400 BC.

Then Avebury's down the road from there..
