[Stones] The Great Bank

[littlestone]

I use inverted commas to avoid being accused of being wrong, but between you and me Rik, I'm not...  
:)

Chuckle... We don't know that it's proto-Silbury, Nigel, we don't even know that it's manmade. Mind, standing up there with you earlier in the year it was hard to believe that it was not manmade, and its size and symmetry were pretty awe-inspiring. If I had to put money on it I'd say the Great Bank (or Weedon Hill as it may also have been known [the etymology of Weedon, ric, it's interesting*] is both manmade and proto-Silbury - proto simply because it's smaller than Silbury :-)
