Not big stones as such, but Silbury Hill.

Here is a picture of Silbury Hill, which is the largest man made mound in Europe 
(it is around 130' high).  It may get smaller;  if you look carefully, you will 
see that it is being nibbled by sheep.  These are very persistent critters, so I hope the monument's OK!


 
However, Silbury Hill has competition ... here are some molehills close to the site, which the moles are working on very hard.  It's going to take them a while, but moles are very persistent,
too.

The mole hills on the grass look like a beautiful piece of knitted fabric.

I love Silbury Hill too, it just appears from nowhere as you come down the road. I reckon by the time the sheep have nibbled the present hill away the moles will have built a new one.
