 Hill of Secrets

    Written by  Laura Cole Published in Discovering Britain


Rising to almost 40 metres high and measuring 160 metres around, Silbury Hill dominates an otherwise flat landscape. At roughly 4,600 years old, it’s the same age as the pyramids of Giza – though arguably even more mysterious. While there are burials near the Egyptian structures, excavations have found no such items around Silbury, nor any other explanation for its use.
