Slaggyford does have its own Silbury Hill, which is a natural feature. It doesn't have a regular profile and the outline varies according to the viewpoint. From the north it gives a good approximation of a pyramid and from the south it is very close to the Silbury outline. Some very rich twit built a road over the lower slope, of the hill, without any kind of Planning Permission, and the cc refuse to enforce planning law. (I have a file an inch deep of planning complaint correspondence). That wouldn't happen at the real Silbury Hill, of course, and is - arguably - only possible in England's Last Wilderness !
