Silbury Sun Roll.

Is there a marked location from where this is viewed, or is it just in a field or summat? What I mean by that is if it were such a major role of Silbury, then wouldn't the optimal viewing position be marked by a stone or mound or such?

It does look nice tho, whether it be by accident or design. :)

There is an optimal point to view it but it is not marked , probably because it was never noticed and even if it was why mark it ? .It's just a fortuitous , beautiful combination of light and ancient monument .

If there isn't a definitive (original)marker...does that indicate that upward or downward rolls can be watched by being in a right place at the right time (ie the viewer moving around the mound on any day to ensure the sunrise/set is in appropriate position)...anytime of the year, a movable feast if you will and unlike other constructs which only offer this event at solstice etc.....or does it only occur here at certain times of the year too?
