Silbury Hill is a prehistoric artificial chalk mound and is part of the complex of Neolithic monuments around Avebury, in the County of Wiltshire, UK. It was built about 4,750 years ago and is the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe. The base of the hill is circular, and 167 metres (548 ft) in diameter. The summit is flat-topped, and 30 metres (98 ft) in diameter. After winter rains, the meadows, on the north side of the hill, flood and provide a dramatic foreground on a frosty morning.
