This simplified cross-section of the hill reveals how much the original land may have been sculpted during the various stages of its construction.

At 130 feet high and covering an area in excess of 5 acres the enormous contours of the hill still challenge us with the mystery of why it was built and what for, but the solution to the mystery of how it has survived for 4,500 years without eroding away has been known from some early excavations. As the diagram shows, the uppermost part was built as a series of drums each getting progressively smaller in diameter with increasing height. Each drum is about 17 feet in height with the outer wall leaning in at an angle for added stability. The inside of each drum consists of a series of radial walls similar to a spider's web which divide the drums into compartments each of which are filled with chalk the walls themselves having been built with chalk blocks. A recent survey of the hill now indicates that the drums are more in the form of polyhedra than circular and may have been built in such a way as to allow the "steps" to form a spiral trackway leading to its summit. The construction of Silbury demonstrates a high level of sophistication. This produces a further mystery...... How did the knowledge of building in this way arrive at Avebury?http://www.avebury-web.co.uk/silbury_hill.html
