EH's website:

"All the known voids inside Silbury Hill, and the crater on the summit, were then re-filled with 1,465 tonnes of chalk. The mound has now been restored to as near its original condition as possible. "

You can see the blooming thing from your upstairs windows, and there's fewer repeats!
I bet if you stuck a camera out of the window right now you could snap someone up there scoffing their lunch!
