Although I have always been a bit curmudgeonly about Mike Parker Pearson and his theories I think he came out of the whole debacle of leaked news with a heroic and noble response.....
Moss , where can I find that bit about Newhenge /BSH ?
I remember there was simialr speculation at the Stonehenge avenue until it was pointed out that they were natural . Whatever it is at BSH is unlikely to point to both though becaue of the quite different horizon profiles ,not that it amters , but it does show their (wishful) thinking .
Just because you disagree with someone who is a good bloke doesn't make you a curmudgeon .
