Silbury Hill

Silbury Hill is a large, man-made prehistoric mound of unknown purpose. There are many legends about Silbury Hill, one of the more well-known being that there is a life-size gold statue of an ancient king on his horse buried within the mound. Work in recent years required to stabilize the monument confirmed the mound as man-made with some internal structures but sadly, no golden treasure.
