Hi Paulus,

Thank you very much for the information you have posted.
I am very much a 'Johnny Come Lately' to this forum (as wasn't on-line until earlier this year) but became deeply interested in the Avebury/Silbury landscape quite a while ago when I moved to a town nearby. I am not therefore qualified to pass any comment on this on-going 'Silbury Debate' but have asked the occasional question.

If the information you have posted comes from an authentic source (and there is no reason to doubt that it does) then it is excellent news:

"The Cable will be removed with a winch when the hill is considered stable by EH monitors" is really good to hear because I felt that surely cables hanging around within the internal structure of Silbury must be on a par with time capsules to say the least.

Also excellent news about the concrete portal and lintel being removed to the AK museum. Lets hope these actions, along with the back-filling are completed effectively, efficiently and as swiftly as possible and that Silbury can rest again in the misty downland landscape which, to my eyes, is very different to any other part of the country.

best wishes
tjj
