| Just found out about this and have to confess, I've never visited the Marlborough Mound before. It would be interesting to know what the plans will be for preservation of this. Very significant. |

Hi - just to say that the above news item is not entirely accurate. Jim Leary only 'led' the final part of the recent archaeological investigations at Silbury Hill ie from June 15th 2007 onwards. regards fachtna |
