Silbury Hill 180

The open aspect was at final appeal last week, Lord A was the only one allowed to lodge a complaint.
It has now gone to an inquiry.
Skanska have finished. EH are tendering the work out.
Dave Field was supposed to has his report finished by July but there is still no sign of it.
At the first demo one of the old locals suggested that we get a conveyor from a quarry and use it to take buckets of chalk to the top of the hill. It would take 2 days at most.
I dread to think what EH will do when they decide to fix the hill forever! Probably pour concrete into it!

Ps. Just to show how clued up EH are, Amanda Chadburn (Inspector of ancient monuments and in charge of Silbury) got excited when she tried to tell us that she has found a brand new stone circle that no-one knows about near East kennet long barrow. We pointed out that Terry Meadon had published about it in his book and that Neil Mortimor had written about it in 3rd Stone and that AD Passmore wrote about it for WAM in the 1930's!

F**K. There IS NO hope.

Celia (Pete and Jane know who I mean) has told me that there`s a talk in Cirencester next Wednesday (24th Sept) entitled "Recent Investigations at Silbury Hill".

Don`t know who by and what exactly it`s about.

Just thought I`d mention it.
