We explore Wiltshire’s Marlborough Mound—the second-largest Neolithic mound in Europe—tracing its 4,000-year life from its Neolithic origins in the Avebury landscape with locally sourced clay and gravel, through a Norman conquest that turned it into a fortress, to an 18th‑century garden feature with a spiral path, water summit, and a shell grotto, and on to modern restoration efforts by the Marlborough Mound Trust. Along the way we see how a living monument links ritual, power, and learning—and why preserving such sites matters today.
