East kennet either side of the river ,West Overton .Lockeridge ,Clatford etc are all lower and would provide "multiple sightings " from most directions ,certainly more than where it is presently sited .
Are you sure about that Mr t? I dunno – the further downstream you go from the Swallowhead the less vantage points surely. But I really don’t know – we’d have to get a cartographer or someone with the right expertise to verify that. The fact remains, however, that Silbury really does seem to be sited at a place that gives it the optimum visibility from the most available vantage points – a fact, surely, that suggests that was part of its builders’ original intent.
