Ok so i was told that surrounding Stonehenge, buried in the grass are 'electronic sensors' that detect movement... the type of movement a typical over enthusiastic person might make late at night in effort to make it into the stones!, is this true or have i been led far astray by some over enthusiastic 'storyteller'???

It's true Paul (at least that what I've heard), that at the base of each stone there's a sensor that extends 3 kilometres in each direction. These sensors are pitched at 700 kvgs and are especially sensitive to the movements of anything older than 15000 CE.

LOL, ,that's a good 'un! What they gonna do anyway? Can't imagine you'd actually get prosecuted for it. I suppose the biggest worry is whether automated sentry guns pop up out of the ground! "You have 10 seconds to comply...... you have 8 seconds to comply......"
