Who does their measuring? What else have they measured wrong?

EH really know how to inspire confidence.

Jeez - an exercise in incompetence. But it really is worrying - what next?

By the way, though there's no parking around Silbury it is possible to park at the Red Lion (£2 for four hours I think) or at the Waggon and Horses provided you buy something there. The road from the Waggon is a bit dangerous to walk along though so anyone doing that should be extra careful - you wouldn't want to get hit by an English Heritage 'expert' - though they might see that as one way of keeping us quiet ;-)

OK thats not too impressive. Btw, I expect you guys know of other mounds suspected of being similar to Silbury hill - Malborough mound is best known after Silbury. There is also a suspicious and very large (possibly 2nd to Silbury) in Lewis, Sussex - O wonder what that is (never excavated as far as I know)
