In fact, Heritage Action said it all back in March of this year -

"Are they (English Heritage)aware that leaving things inside the hill would fly in the face of ALL accepted notions of proper conservation practice?...

"Silbury Hill does not need a time capsule. Over the years it has suffered damage from antiquarian vandalism time and time again. An archaeological excavation, that was done for publicity sake, not only damaged the hill but the recording of the evidence was also very poor..."*

Do try to keep up English Heritage, not only are you running about eight years behind on the stabilization of Silbury, you are running about eighty years behind on accepted conservation practices.
