Here's a picture taken from the top of Brampton Mote (http://www.bramptonweather.co.uk/aboutbrampton.htm). Most accounts have its height at 135 feet, some have 360 feet. Conical shaped, with a statue to the 7th Earl of Carlisle on top, and judged to be a natural mound. Although it is within a glaciated landscape it seems to upright to be a drumlin.

Blimy It's taken me ages to trawl through this thread.
Reading the TAJ my only concern is over the climbing on stones issue, advising people to 'challenge them and ask them to get off' could lead to argument and at worst, a scuffle. Might be better to advise folks to politely inform the offenders what kind of damage that 'people' (without directly referring to the person involved) might be doing to the stones and lichens by climbing on them – educate them!
If that still doesn't work then of course a punch in the gob is always a viable option ;-)
Anyways, the HA site is a credit to all involved – keep up the good work folks!

Oh, nearly forgot –
'That's your heritage they're damaging!'
Remind them that it's also 'their' heritage that's being damaged. Not by them of course, because they're far too sensible to climb on the stones again aren't they? Hopefully the newly educated individual might pass on this wisdom to others.

Metalhead - have you got the dates for the next Silbury/Avebury litter pick? Without them, I can't promote it on the Avebury Journal....
