That's a dinky little application Oci, someone on Britarch was enquiring if such a thing existed recently.

Of course, in some cases it only has to be a bit wrong to be completely wrong, and it doesn't allow for tree cover. Or the height of the observer (I can see Silbury from a point near the Obelisk but my daughter cant!), but still, anything that will result in the rescue of Watkins from the clutches of the Mysterions is a good thing by me.

Yup, position and height are critical. Click on the pic here - http://silbury-hill.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html#315953661864961496 (click again to enlarge). Silbury can just be seen on the skyline between the stone on the left and the stone on the right. If Silbury were originally higher it would have been more easily seen from the Obelisk. If Waden Hill was slightly higher however (now somewhat reduced due to ploughing?) or wooded in the Neolithic, Silbury wouldn’t have been visible from that point... suggesting there was no grand design to link Silbury and the Henge visually?
