It's the oldest ploy in the book - secrecy.

Q. 22-5-2007 'Atkinson/BBC Entrance'
One of the first principles of conservation is that nothing of the original object under conservation should either be taken away or added to. With that in mind, may we assume that the 1968 'Atkinson/BBC Entrance' with its appalling S logo will now be removed and that part of Silbury restored to its (as far as possible) original condition?

A. 23-5-2007 'Atkinson/BBC Entrance'
"Dear LS
People hold differing views on whether the Atkinson entrance structure should be left or taken away, and there is a conservation-based argument for both positions.
Our original plan was to transport the door to the Alexander Keiller museum in Avebury and to retain the concrete lintel in situ, but grassed over.
We have revisited this plan and still feel that this is the approach that we will take, unless of course the concrete portal structure has to be removed for Health & Safety reasons.
Best regards from the Silbury Project team"
NB There is absolutely no conservation-based argument for the Atkinson entrance to remain.

Yay! Hat is well and truly ORF! :oD
I might ask the Silbury Project Team... I'm sure they would have photographed them. It's only an idle curiosity! Blimey!
At least there was SOMETHING holding the tunnel up! ;o)

Actually they are! All the children in the junior classes are going to Silbury in June to take part in the "activities" going on there. As a parent helper i'm going too, and if i get the chance to go inside i most definitely will.
