That's the wrong way round, I think. Silbury is Blakey Topping-esque.

Ha ha! Yes, I wasn't suggesting that Blakey Topping was modelled on Silbury SG! Unless EH have got their dates very wrong.

Not sure what nomenclature you are suggesting though. Fossilised-Rainbow-Hills is a bit of a mouthful. :-)

Sounds like a Blakey Topping would go very well with the Chocolate Hills ;-)
