Strange isn't it that we owe virtually all of our early knowledge of Avebury to the shiftless, roving and magotie-headed plus liars, loonies and vandals. Plus ca change.... ;)

Well, I wasn't going to say anything but now that you mention it...

I've got some news for you! Straight from the pages of Tynedale Planning. They've acknowledged my complaints, at last, but 'the county archaeologist' has told them that the Bronze Age/Iron Age Homestead, on the SMR, that was cut in two by the last road, in May, isn't on the SMR. So, either it's still there but he can't find it or it's been deliberately removed from the SMR. It was there in June - on the online version - and I now wish I'd taken down its reference number. Local politics! But at least something's happening, I suppose.
