They discovered that it is man made and old.
RC dates will establish exactly how old but the cores were remarkably similar to those taken at Silbury.
The mound will officially be known as Waden Mound.
Full details will be published in a book about Avebury by Pete Glastonbury & Steve Marshall due for publication in summer 2011.
Thanks to Pete for this exciting news.
Brilliant. I shall look forward to reading that when it comes out. Another piece of the jigsaw hopefully falling into place. Thanks for the info Geoff.
