Slag Dames off all you like :-) I can't stand his cods-wallop personally.

No, they don't *have* to have monuments around them, but they are a useful indicator as to the antiquity of the importancethat a hill was held in.

Obviously folklore comes in big time too.

Having just spent two days skirting Knocknarea in Co. Sligo (which has over 100 passage tombs within site of it) I feel the need to distinguish it as a separate thing.

The fact that Silbury is actually a mound is of great improtance and perhaps it shouldn't necessarily be clumped in with the natural ones.
