The latest news is that a second quarry company has announced its intention to quarry the extremely important heritage landscape of Thornborough - this petition is urgent!
UK - Petition to stop the quarrying of the Thornborough Complex.
In the UK, the largest prehistoric religious site, the Thornborough Henges Complex, is being quarried for gravel by Tarmac Ltd. The company is part of the massive Anglo American Corporation, and are not only destroying one of Britain’s most important ancient sites, but also they are using there financial muscle to make it appear to the general public that this is of benefit to British heritage!
In addition, Hanson have announced an intention to quarry at Upsland, close to Thornborough. From air photo's this area has been judged to contain a cursus and the area can be considered a possible extension to the Thornborough ritual landscape. Of course, no archaeological investigation has been done on this "possible" cursus, it is therefore unprotected and unknown.
Please help us try to stop this, Thornborough is not the only important ancient site Tarmac are quarrying, lets us send a clear message to the British government that this must stop.
