Something else I just thought of, Are the voids in the Mound a Pumphouse? I n an age when most of the time Ale was the only safe drink, control of a clean watersource must have been a valued resource then as now, combine that with the Fords in the river, was it a Toll booth too? those fields look great for a market during dry spells, then add a 30ft timber tower to the top of the mound, what's the view like from that height? enough to see the down slope of the surrounding hills and miles down the valley I bet

I really admire your work and feel that you have touched on the real truth and not just presumed that this is yet another primitive tomb I am not sure if you are familiar with the extensive studies of Alfred Watkins but i think you might find the old straight track quite enlightening The ancients did believe that natural springs were sacred and often used white chalk to mark sacred areas of great religious significance But more amazing is that ley lines underground were connected to the geophysical affects of natural phenomenon such as wells These ley lines connect almost all the stone circles and wells across Britain Worcester Cambridge Sussex and Leamington to name a few. It is a shame that the Romans built over many of these areas as i am sure other mounds may have existed in Bath or Leamington Check out Alfreds book if you can I do believe you are onto something 😊👍💕

Just a crazy thought but maybe pot bellied hill Naval of the earth etc began over these sacred springs and changed into places of much greater religious significance as climate change and other cataclysmic events lead people to fortify and revere these fountains of life 😊

Fascinating hypothesis, this is why i love your channel. You look at ancient sites from a completely different angle from the conventially accepted views. Great video and very plausable, this could explain many ancirnt sites. Neolithic Cave art was often located due to the natual shape or contour of rocks, perhaps sacred sites are all located on some natural anomaly..... most springs or wells were revered and many pagans (and later christians) built places of worship next to, or around them.

Another amazing video! I have to say, this is by far and away the best interpretation of the evidence that I have seen on this topic. I think you may have solved the enigma here, and I hope more people see your video so that you can get credit for this realization!

One word: Fascinating. Incredible forensic archeology lessons for us all, your rational approach is intoxicating. Well done my friend.

i really love the structure of your research and videos overall. It's easy to digest but still detailed enough to separate from the more superficial science/archaeology videos on youtube. Much respect to you for also taking the time to read actual Peer Reviewed research articles...something that Many youtuber's lack the patience to do themselves which inevitably leads to misinformed theories of their own based on rumours and personal opinions. I know all that research takes time which many viewers don't understand when they demand faster turnover of episodes (which is awesome since they are keen to see more content) but they don't always realise that channels like this shouldn't be compared to the larger ones out there that just spit out bollocks without doing thorough research to do the Topic Justice. So I appreciate the time you put into your videos and encourage your current workflow as you are still pumping out episodes at a healthy pace and not compromising on Quality for Quantity. Cheers again mate

Another great video and hypothesis. Quality of presentations, clarity, research and time spent on your work make it a total A+ material second to none. Congrats!

Very interesting! Really Well thought out and presented. Excellent hypothesis.

I used to do water well drilling. When you started talking about the content materials and all the water it made me think of an Artesian water well someone had capped in the past but done a poor job, so the water kept pushing up the drill line and mounding the ground around it, but never flowed out. Because of the gravel basalt rock in the area the water was able to flow back down. We went in and drilled a new well almost like a Lance bursting a boil! It very well have been a natural wellspring that became a Reservoir! It'd be interesting to get a drill team in and lay some pipe. Just to see what comes out!

The terrain does not lend itself to artesian springs. The slopes are too small to create enough head for an artesian spring with enough head to lift/force the water vertically.

Please read my hypothesis. The mound is built on hydric soils and the rock foundation is a large “French Drain” and structural foundation (distributing weight). The moat is a holding pound for the foundation drain that has a water level below the foundation and discharges into the rivers on the low end.

I've looked into this... I believe the Stone Circle at Gors Fawr (Great Marsh) is part of a Super Solstice Temple... Which includes, Foel Drygarn (Summer Solstice), Bedd Arthur & Foel Cwmcerwyn (Preseli Hills). Silbury Hill I believe could be a replication of Foel Drygarn... I noticed water in the clip... Foel Drygarn is the source of the Cleddau-Ddu... I believe the ancients used the hills around Gors Fawr like a seasonal time piece too... Reference points... But also a very spiritual place as in temple... The Bluestones at Stonehenge came from the Preseli Hills... Furthermore, the three mounds on Foel Drygarn I believe have something to do with Orion's Belt... Like the Pyramids of Giza... Finally, as well as structures being close to the heavens, I also wonder whether the "Great Flood" had any influence, as in surviving.

Again, thank you Matt for superb videos ❤️

That well dug in the 17 hundreds dug to the base and found a wooden pole. i think it was Gerald Massey that I read on that but it could have been an old report on archive org.

During the last total eclipse of the 20th century across England in 1999, I enjoyed the spectacle on the top of Silbury Hill along with a large group, meditating, chanting, partying, children running around, or just gazing into space. No word on the fact that it sits on top of the Mary/Michel lay line, one of the two main lay lines that encircle our planet !?

Curiously, a few years ago I slept out on top of Silbury Hill, and during the night had a very clear vision of a shaft running straight down from the top through the body of the hill and into the earth. I got the image of a cervix/omphalos in relation to this. Your video makes a lot of sense of why that central shaft might have existed. I love the idea of Silbury Hill being a central water feature to a big pond. And I'll add Silbaby Hill to the visit list. Great work! Thank you!!

Very interesting hypothesis. The information about spring mounds was completely new to me. Ancient, and in fact not so ancient people, have always had great reverence for springs, imagine then the significance to them of a mound forming close to springs. Yet another strong feature in an already significance loaded landscape. There are also springs at Blick Mead not that far away where chemical reactions caused by algae turn flints bright red. Excellent video once again, thank you!

This is as good an explanation as any other that I’ve heard.

Fascinating idea. I'm currently investigating a large enlogated earthwork in West Kent (UK). It sits within a valley that once had dozens of springs feeding into it. Urban sprawl from the late Victorian period has certainly greatly reduced the water table in the area. It would seem quite likely that the earthwork was once surrounded by natural spring water. Significant amounts of prehistoric stone tools were recovered from the SW end and seem to date from the late Neolithic into the late Bronze. Still a lot more work for us to do but I like your hypothesis. UPDATE - Recently found a 1750 CE map referring to 'Rok Spring' at the NE end of the mound!

Not only a credible suggestion, but a convincing one, too. Many viewer comments wonderfully support this attractive hypothesis.

Wow great idea. Good stuff. An excavation of the second smaller mound, or even just some cores, would be interesting.

I've read that the height brings it up to the height of the hills it sits between. IF the phases of building up are dated and correlated to cosmic alignments, perhaps we can see the relationship. Spring mounds, very interesting. maybe like pingos? Your theory fits very well with natural occurrences during specific planetary alignments and Harmonic Convergences.

Many thanks for this video. Ive seens many interpretations of Sulbury Hill but this thesis is the most convincing and answers many questions such as why build an artficial hill in a valley surrounded by hills? I had always thought it was more of a sacred island almost surrounded by water.

I think you've got a really good point there. Good research 😃

Very interesting and exciting idea - excellent work! The alternating layers of organic/inorganic remind me of the work of Wilhelm Reich and his Orgone accumulator which was built of those alternating layers.

very intriguing idea. It would be interesting to see the results of a larger study based on this.

Must admit, not a subject I know a lot about. Sometimes hypothesis are better than the truth. The not knowing is what makes it so interesting. Great video well thought out and articulated.
