It seems straightforward to me so I'm probably being naive & ignorant of procedure. What I mean is, that I just assumed that now they would just start a huge excavation.
Presumably it is not part of their remit. Surveying is one thing, excavating a totally different matter and subject to special permissions. It took forever to excavate for the stones in the 'missing' Beckhampton Avenue at Avebury and must be very frustrating for all those involved because until done it will remain speculation and another part of the ever continuing 'Stonehenge Story'. All good for business though :-)
