Description

Drawing marked 'Tunnel A'. Although this illustration was not selected for reproduction in the book entitled 'The Story of Silbury Hill', by Jim Leary and David Field, published in 2010 by English Heritage, a similar illustration (see IC245/004) was used, suggesting that this may have been a preliminary version of that drawing.
