Not that I think the sight line should be destroyed but they've got it all wrong haven't they since current thinking is that the sight line was in the opposite direction at the opposite end of the year and at sunset not sunrise.

The other thing is that the body financed by us the taxpayer to guard Stonehenge on our behalf thinks it's too early for them to say anything about it. Right.




Agree that that's the current and sensible thinking, but my guess is, whilst maybe not being equally important. (who knows) it would have been very significant. There's all sorts of alignments going on if you believe the latest research, so i'd stab at a guess of it being an important event. One we should preserve, as i doubt there's any going back once development begins.

Your second paragraph Nigel. EH ? And have they actually said that ?
