Silbury Hill Number of views as of 5th June 2017 = 175. Silbury Hill, near Avebury (Wiltshire, England) is the tallest, prehistoric, man-made mound in Europe. It is similar in size to the Egyptian pyramids, though its purpose remains a mystery as no evidence of it being a burial site has yet to be found. Thought to have been built around 2400 BC, the structure is approximately 30 metres high, and its proximity to other prehistoric sites at Avebury, West Kennet and Stonehenge suggests that the sites may have had cultural connections. Access to the site is currently prohibited to prevent erosion, but I remember climbing it in the early 1980s. Date: 15th February 2016. Click here to view other images of Wiltshire.
