Thanks for the kind remarks, but can I just clarify something, before this goes any further?

To say that "Full details will be published in a book about Avebury by Pete Glastonbury & Steve Marshall due for publication in summer 2011." is quite misleading.

I am indeed writing a very large Avebury Book with Pete Glastonbury but we will only be able to include these 'full details' if the archaeologists concerned are kind enough to give us them - which they obviously don't have to do...

There is though, more info about Silbaby in the November issue of 'Time and Mind' which will appear very soon. It's an article about the Silbury Sun Roll, written by myself & George Currie, with pictures by Pete. The article includes the first ever plan & dimensions of Silbaby and has already been referenced in 'The Story of Silbury Hill'.

I'm as excited as everyone else about yesterday's discovery but it's down to the EH archaeos what happens next.

With the projected cut this project along with a revisit to Marden or Roman Silbury is surely highly unlikely?

I suppose it would depend on the projected cost of such a venture wouldn't it VBB. They are not going to shut up shop altogether are they so this could just go ahead if not felt too costly and would indicate to us all that they are still pressing on with things.
