Silbury Hill

Especially at famous, obvious, I'm-deliberately-visiting-it sites like Silbury and Stonehenge. You don't climb up Silbury thinking it's an ordinary hill. You don't stand on the lintels at Stonehenge without knowing where you are.

Perhaps, maybe, whoever piled up those horse jumps at that stone Drew visited, they weren't thinking, they were so used to seeing that stone that they don't know what it really is, so they don't value it. Or like when I used to visit 'caesar's camp' when I was a kid and believed it was roman, I didn't really know what I was looking at. But that kind of blissful unawareness doesn't really wash at a massive site like silbury or stonehenge. Surely??
