Re: Silbury's structural integrity

I wonder if the whole hill has not settled slightly on the outside over the past 40 years anyway. It could be a foot shorter, and I doubt anyone would have noticed. The fact that they say the word 'chamber' a lot now is worrying. That implies a larger area than I thought was dug out in 68-69, which I thought was just a tunnel, like a subterranean archaeologist's trench, rather than an expanding cave, which is what it sounds like now.

It really beggars belief that Atkinson was allowed to scar the hill, leave it in disrepair which has further damaged it, and did not even pay his way by publishing anything, and yet is still held up as one of EH's heroes.

Says a lot about EH though.
