Silbaby Hill! I love it.

Pete G - this is brilliant, you must be very excited. Have you found any record of anyone mentioning it in the past? It makes me want to head out your way again to give it a visit...

the only reference I have so far is The Silbury Treaure by Mr Dames which mentions Waden Spring but not the mound.
I've been looking at the mound from WKLB for years now
but only recently decided to to give it a good look over.
Its an amazing place and I suggest you take the time to pay it a visit sometime :)

In Burl's "Prehistoric Avebury" page 48 fig24, there's possibly a representation of it. Follow the road W from the Sanctuary and it bisects a circular mark. The position is right although Stukeley calls Waden "Windmill Hill".
