Ermm, Silbury Hill would certainly look great with some broad ditches around the base. And the chalk would certainly retain a lot of water. Put it on a foot deep base of beaten clay and you would have a vertical reservoir, it's true. But that puts the cart before the horse.
On Winter Hill (now memorialised by the Pooves on their latest waxing) there's a great big television transmitting mast. It's 1050' high and broadcasts propaganda to Greater Manchester. (It was paid for by adverts for cornflakes). Imagine someone arguing in the future that it was built as a roost for birds of prey!
