Brilliant! And brings us neatly back to English Heritage's nauseating idea of a 21st century time capsule buried in Silbury (just after they've finished 'conserving' it).


An admission that the guy they uphold as a shining figure, Mr Atkinson, brought the conservation about because he screwed the job badly the first time would be welcome too. The earlier tunnellers share some responsibility, but they were not in possession of the equipment and 20th century knowhow, and there was no evidence of any subsidence before 1969.
