"Of the many purposes of Silbury, I believe it was also incorporated to be part of a "line of sight", message relay network, from the Southern/Western coasts of the UK towards the London area, as was done on the Great Wall of China, to alert central authorities of any invasions."

ive just had a look at the photos, i cant really see anything.

but this i thought was interesting. as if it was, then why would they build the hill behind another hill? wouldnt they build it on top of the hill as it would be seen more??

have you ever been to silbury hill?

Sorry, but I don't know who posted this quote.....

....but so far as we know, when Silbury was built there were no "central authorities" in the modern sense, no organised "invasions" (lots of cross Channel trade) and the site of London was a few small hills and islands beside a wide and boggy river.
