A extraordinary man made mound. It's huge and its purpose or meaning remain unknown. There's a little gate that will get you into the fields for a great view of the hill.

Silsbury Hill is a local legend, mostly because no one really knows what it was for! First created around the same time as Avebury Stone Circle, it has seen plenty of history since.
The Romans built a settlement around it and historians have tried to tunnel into it to discover burial chambers, with no luck. It remains an intriguing mystery but a lovely monument to focus on as you run in the area.
