Ooh, I dunno if I've seen these - cheers, LS!

Some of it's new, Goff, some old and some seems to have been edited. For example, I could have sworn I saw a mass of spoil pouring from the interior of the Monument when the door was first opened in an earlier version of the first film (that footage is not shown). That aside, and the somewhat premature claim that, "...the Hill has been stabilised and the future of this important monument assured." (note, no mention of the sensors still monitoring the interior, nor the possible deleterious effect foreign bodies left within the Monument might have on it) there is much food for thought contained within all four films. After watching them you're yet again struck by the beauty and sheer complexity of Silbury as a structure (I wish English Heritage would stop calling it a Hill) and deeply saddened by all it has suffered in recent times.
