The question is are they going to bother with a Northern route, and just leave it as it is, (the tunnel option was never going to be ready for 2012 Olympics) with oil seeming to hit its peak, and already oil prices are going up, expensive road building is a bit foolhardy.
The northern route option seems to state that there will be a small tunnel past the houses at Larkhill, again groups of barrows will be on either side of the road.
Temporary measures, grassing over the A344, and perhaps going underground with visitors centre so that it is not visually intrusive on the landscape, and a bit of tree planting would'nt come amiss if you want to block views to the road.
