[Stones] Silbury about to implode?

[Merryn Dineley]

Worrying stuff. It sounds to me like the drainage has been ruined by the 
archaeologists' tunnels. These neolithic folk knew a thing or two about 
drainage and they built Silbury to shed water. Now the water is entering 
the hill and causing damage. I hope EH can fix it but we shall just have 
to wait and see.
