True enough. I know it could never have been done because the gravel men would have said it was hypocrisy but I do wonder if a stunt like that highlighting the plight of the "other" Stonehenge would have made a difference to Thornborough. I guess we'll never know.
(Annoying financial news on Wednesday - "Anglo American says 2006 profit rose 76 percent on strong metal prices from $3.52 billion to $6.2 billion.")
There again, looking at the Tara Hill saga, no matter how much myth,legend, history of Ireland was pulled into the argument - it still did not win the day against the motorway - head rules heart here. It has a lot to do with what is "upstanding" and within the visual frame, so you don't knock down that norman castle, but you do drive roads past (and on top) of archaeological/ sacred landscapes. The answer is to delineate the landscape that should (but is,nt scheduled) and keep out destructive processes within that area..
