If you look at Google Earth it becomes very tempting to see the WK Avenue as a 'false' winterbourne, snaking as it does, and for Silbury to be the viewing platform for the water to the henge, as Waden Hill is for the avenue.

The two 'courses' (water & avenue) seperated by Waden Hill (and not inter-visible) must be significant.

Wouldn't you be able to see the Sanctuary end of the WKA from the top of Silbury ? again if the trees were all removed.
