“Archaeology on steroids “ more like laughing gas or Bucky or yet again “overinterpretation on steroids” .
It is however incredibly exciting that what has been found under the bank is another house at Durrington .

24 hrs later and the house has gone the way of the stones .

One thing looks pretty sure ,there is no " largest surviving stone monument, preserved underneath a bank, that has ever been discovered in Britain and possibly in Europe"
Thats a shame. Although I've been following the blog and was quite surprised when I read they had found a house under the bank.
But theres still a couple of days to go, something exciting might turn up yet.
Edit : I blame the paper in the portaloos.
