Jim Leary and David Field have written a book called The Story of Silbury Hill which will detail the archaeological investigations undertaken during the conservation work of 2007/08. This was mentioned at the lecture Jim Leary gave back in January of this year.
It will be interesting to see what Leary and Field have to say about Silbury Hill and how it compares with a book just out called 'Avebury A Lady In Waiting'.
Although the book has been written (Foreword by David Attenborough) it will not be published until October of this year.
A 'must-buy' for my bookshelf anyway.
PS: David Field has also written a book on Earthen Longbarrows which is worth reading.
It is quite remarkable and I'm still trying to take it all in but I love his ideas as it gives a real meaning to Avebury and his perception of Silbury Hill and the meaning of its Causeways, which, as a female, I was completely stunned by.
