... that could have caused untold damage.


Untold damage comes in various forms Mr m. Guess it's when that which you hold important is somehow 'desecrated'. Like many, I'm just happy to look at Silbury from various places in the area, but that happiness would somehow have been 'interfered with' knowing that this generation of 'custodians' had not only failed to restore the monument to its former state but had somehow arrived at the conclusion that a 21st century 'time capsule' was appropriate within a prehistoric monument.

By all means bury a time capsule near Silbury... but in it!? I do not think so, and it really does beg the question whether English Heritage really knew what they were advocating with the idea of a 21st century Silbury time capsule - and by extension, what they continue to both do and allow at other places (not least Stonehenge) under their jurisdiction.
