The Obelisk was obviously an important feature of the Avebury Henge, and the fact that Silbury can be seen from that point (and vice-versa) and not from (many?) other points within the Henge, would suggest there was an intentional alignment between the two.
Sorry, oci, seem to have subverted your thread in the grand TMA tradition :-)
Good point LS but what would be the purpose of that I wonder? If you lived locally you wouldn't need to know where either the hill or Great Circle were in relation to each other so there would have to be another reason presumably other than for strangers to the area to know where one was from the other? Hmmm.
