Yes, there's a definite attempt to make the smooth sides of Silbury look a little more interesting. It's bloody hard to shade on a woodcut :-)

I think it is your thing though. Perhaps it is a Thing .... could it be a Viking Thing Mound in the shadow of Silbury. Even that would be kinda nice. Bit far south though innit

Pete, you said the name for it in the Red Lion map was The Great Bank. But then you mentioned Girt Bank.

I assumed that Girt meant Great, but I looked it up
Girt means to gird or to secure with a girth, and it's a variant form of gird which means to surround, or to encircle with a belt or band.

Interesting, isn't it?

Input from etymologists would be welcome at this point..
