Well actually, in defence of the Silbury Spoil Heap theory, of course they had to construct it brilliantly so as to avoid it eroding into the sacred ditch - and they've clearly done a brilliant job - which is more than can be said of the architects of the Avebury spoil heap.
Except that the Silbury ditch has silted up far more than the Avebury ditch has it not?
