Silbury Hill Artificial Mound View all content for Silbury Hill

Google Books "Diary of a Dean. Being an account of the examination of Silbury Hill, and of Various Barrows and other earthworks on the downs of North Wilts, opened and investigated in the months of July and August 1849. With Illustrations." How excellent that John Merewether's book should now be available to read online, and especially at this time when the new excavations are going ahead. The latter part of the book contains loads of information, if you can pin down the locations he's talking about. But it might upset people of a delicate constitution as it is basically 'speed-barrowing', as seemed to be the fashion of the time.
