In the course of doing some research on the Druid connection with the Culdees, the first (Celtic) Christians, I have come across the Silures - "inhabitants of south west (ancient) Britain and noted for their military prowess and culture". The Romans were frequently defeated and put to rout by them alone. Also said to occupy SE Wales and known as 'the people people of the rocks'.
I was wondering if there could be any connection between them and Silbury. Up till now I have always thought (mainly from information I have read here) that the name Silbury derived from the goddess Sulis and had a connection with water.
I would very much appreciate any views or further information about this tribe of ancient Britons.
