I've searched through my books and cannot find a name for the mound or the spring.
I have a panoramic of the hill here
http://aveburytour.mysite.freeserve.com/Silbury/MiniSilburyA.htm
but I'm currently having problems uploading new pages.
Stukeley did a sketch of the area and draws a circle like a pond barrow cut in half by the roman road.
Its obviously not a pond barrow and it very much a mini silbury to my eyes.
Anyone want to put a name to the spring or the mound?

I've managed to update the page with some pics and a stukeley sketch.

How about ...

<b>Pete's Bluff</b>

or

<b>Pete's Norman Motte?</b>

No? It does look kinda interesting ...

Since he's otherwise uncommemorated at Avebury, and in an unmarked grave, and was presumably it's original discoverer, how about Stukeley Mound?

Perhaps we could call it George? :)
