Review:
This appropriately detailed, well illustrated and luxuriously produced report chronicles the response... The book is a precious record, with stimulating discussions .... -- Mike Pitts * British Archaeology * Elegant and beautifully designed, Silbury Hill is brimming with photographs and drawings, maps and diagrams. It is a bibiophile's delight. Particularly lovely is a set of tunnel sections, reproduced on folded sheets that are each five times the width of a standard page. ... If you need to know all that is known about Silbury Hill, you need this book. -- Steve Marshall * Fortean times * ... a beautiful volume, clearly written and attractively illustrated. -- Vicki Cummings * Antiquity 88 (2014): 1323-1325 * One of the great strengths of the book is its superb presentation of empirical detail which is likely to be an indispensable resource for future researchers. ... The volume is beautifully illustrated throughout with well-chosen photographs, illustrations and diagrams, supplemented by large, well-presented site plans which fold out from the back of the book. The lavish production allows the authors to offer a gradual, layered build-up of evidence and interpretation in a style both scholarly and accessible allowing both professional and amateur readily to understand the history of that wonderful landscape from the time of its construction to the present day. -- David Jacques * Landscape History, Vol 36 (1), 2015 *
