People tend to forget the Hatfield Mound, the huge Silbury like hill that once stood inside Marden henge.
Silbury is only unique now that all the other large mounds have gone.
Over the summer I was made aware of another Silbury type mound that is covered in tree's so not visible from the air. This one is near Stonehenge!

Forgot about Hatfield I must admit - Rhiannon seems to be the expert on that one - she says that it is near the source of the Avon. But it did'nt have an internal drumlike structure like Silbury, Marden was just sandy soil presumably thats why they were able to bulldoze it.. so I say Silbury is still unique ;)
You'll have to share on the Stonehenge mound.....
