In case anyone thinks Pete and Jim have gone nuts, can I just add confirmation.
Park at WKLB carpark, walk to the bridge, turn left and walk a couple of hundred yards and look back at the road, which is high up at that point. It's there, hard up against the bank, with trees and scrubby bushes on it and with the rear bit cut away but unmistakable.

OK, I presume it's known about but not by the general public, which is absolutely extraordinary.

Why? Well imagine a scaled down Silbury, cut off to a flat platform one third of the way up, with a circular moat round the front half of it full of clear water in which you can see the spring bubbling up. Imagine it has sloping sides at the same angle as Silbury and adjoining it is a dead flat flood plain of the Kennet, just like Silbury.
Imagine this, the third largest construction in the Avebury landscape, just sitting there, unregarded by the thousands of people walking the path up to WKLB...

This is just bizarre. I recommend everyone goes and looks urgently, in case all three of us are collectively mad...

I have some really good photos but can't post them until a name is found.

Great description Nigel! I've wondered about the mound for years but it's taken Pete and Jim to really bring it to our attention. If it is what I'm hoping it might be we could have a Silbury prototype - it's sure in the right place.

I feel a major thread-subversion coming on...

"OK, I presume it's known about but not by the general public, which is absolutely extraordinary."

Everything about the collective indifference to British pre-history seems extraordinay to me. I went to visit the Devil's Arrows near Boroughbridge yesterday. I expected to see one of those brown heritage signs directing me to them, but no such luck. I asked several people, but they hadn't even heard of them and looked at me as though I was slightly mad. I eventually found someone who pointed me along the right road. When I saw them I was staggered. Millstone grit giants poking 20 feet out of the ground and every bit as impressive (and heavy) as the massive trilithon uprights of Stonehenge, but seemingly ignored by the local population.

There was a small plaque next to one of the stones informing me that they had probably been dragged from Knaresborough around 2700BC. Looking up at the beast I was more convinced than ever that talk about dragging stones of this size is total nonsense. But more than that, why do we British treat these amazing accomplishments of our ancestors with such apathy?
