Title: Silbury Hill
Silbury Hill, the largest man made mound in Europe, takes on the appearance of a giant pudding (looks a bit better large). The English Heritage Pastscape website describes Silbury as "A large late Neolithic mound that stands to a height of nearly 40 metres with a diameter of about 168 metres, which is surrounded by a ditch. It is situated on the western side of the Kennet valley in close proximity to other monuments that were clearly of great significance in the Neolithic period...The turf at the centre was extremely well preserved and is believed to have been constructed within a century of 2400 BC. The outer layer may have been constructed as late as 2000 BC. The hill is believed to have had a range of later uses including the presence of a late Saxon or Norman military structure."
