Wonder also how such a 'town' coped with the occasional flooding around Silbury. Perhaps any future investigations/excavations should start at Pan Bridge and work upstream across the Silbury floodplain towards the Winterbourne (as well as downstream towards the Kennet). Apart from existing open streams there may have once also been open drains (and culverts?) in and along which a higher concentration of archaeological information might be present.
