By the end of tomorrow, with Xmas looming, we'll have had eight weeks during which there have been just a hundred words released about the structural work and another hundred about the archaeology.

That's OK though, what do I expect for the expenditure of a million pounds of public funds?

How dare I moan. There IS no news and there HAS been no further major damage.

Has there?

Well, English Heritage have just re-jigged their Silbury Updates page - that's probably cost a couple of hundred at least, so be grateful ;-) There's no new information from EH on that page of course but I'd sort of given up hoping that there ever would be. Never mind, when the archeos and those with secret and mysterious knowledge of what they think they recently saw in Silbury have recovered from their seasonal excesses I'm sure there'll be a plethora of 'scholarly' papers and wacky books to peruse. I can hear the tills ringing already :-)

An update has just appeared.

Very informative, too.

The picture of the sheer scale of the crater on top will of course come as a horrifying shock to everyone. Wonder when that happened?
