Hi TJJ -

I am not therefore qualified to pass any comment on this on-going 'Silbury Debate' but have asked the occasional question.
Please don't think like that. There are some folk here who think far too much above themselves about some of the issues they talk, nay deride others for, and only get their voices on screen cos they've got bigger mouths than others. Humility is a lacking for some, but I value it highly. (though there are other ingredients we each possess which, when needs must, must sometimes be called to the surface!)

Straight from the heart of the hill, so to speak.

Also excellent news about the concrete portal and lintel being removed to the AK museum. Lets hope these actions, along with the back-filling are completed effectively, efficiently and as swiftly as possible and that Silbury can rest again in the misty downland landscape which, to my eyes, is very different to any other part of the country.
Yeah, it's good news. I'll post some more news info in a bit (gotta watch mi football first!), but think I'll start a new thread on the issue, highlighting the updates as they come to me, whether daily or otherwise. Then if the others want to argue, we can let them do it here on this thread, or amongst themselves.

Look forward to seeing your thread Paulus - any info, from whatever source (as long as it's correct), is valuable.

"Yeah, it's good news"

Any news on Silbury is good news Paulus - look forward to your thread ;)

Nearly forgot to post this bit of info which the lads working there passed onto me the other day. I know I said I'd start another thread about it, but decided to keep it here instead. This info was received following work at Silbury Hill at the end of the week:

"Workers at the site found 3 small sarsens in the primary mound one of which needed 2 people to pick up. They will going back in if they haven't been placed back already.

At the top small sarsens were used to pack the chalk blocks and a few were found in the saxon post holes. These also are being placed back."

Not much forthcoming in the next few days, so I 'm told.

Cheers - Paul
