Althouigh much larger than what is planned for Stonehenge, I seem to recall the Rheged Centre in Penrith is built upon similar lines - it's built into/under an earthen bank, so is almost invisible from one side...

Isn't there a concern about the possibility of disturbing the archeology there?..

Shouldn't we keep the design simple and disturbance of the landscape to a minimum.

After all, It will be torn down and replaced at some point in the future (How every far that future is) and shouldn't We try to have as light a 'footstep' as possible?..
