| New thread (Sorry Kammer) The little mound thats been pissed on! Do we now have an Old name for the location of the mound once known as Silbaby aka The Great Bank? "South of Abury town is a hill, between it and Silbury, callíd Windmill-hill; it lies between our two avenues, and intercepts the view from one to the other. This too is crowníd with barrows of different sorts and sizes. The Via badonica runs on the southern skirt of it, going from Overton-hill to Silbury. I took notice there of a barrow of the kind I call Druids. This happening too near the track of the Roman road, it goes over part of it. Part is fillíd up, and the tump in the middle, under which the urn lay, they have dug away: A further demonstration, that it is of a date posterior to our celtic works here.this hill too is callíd weedon hill, perhaps from the Roman way." I'm happy with it...
