A case of 'live and let die' perhaps. I've just been looking at the BBC Wiltshire News Link posted by Tom Watts - it is an interesting experiment though the large stones don't look like sarsen so it is always only going look like a replica long barrow.

May go along when its finished and take a look.

...Tim Daw, the farmer who's land the long barrow is on, is well known in Wiltshire archaeology circles, he cares a lot about the history around him.

If the long barrow is a purely money making scheme, he could increase the charges ten-fold and it'd still be a bargain...

An 'oops!' from me - they are sarsens.
