I don't know what kind. I'm finding more of these types of mounds in Iran. They are same shape and size as the ones near US Patriot missile batteries in Iraq.

This one appears to be an SA-2 battery, split to better cover a particular section of the compass. The northern three revetments are empty but the southern three appear to have SA-2 launchers in them, but not missiles.
The mounds are used to get a bit more height for the radar antenna. Even getting them up 20 or 30 feet above the flat desert makes a huge difference in range.
