| Who do you believe? http://www.theguardian.com/uk-[...]eveals-new-sites-and-mysteries "Kate Fielden, an archaeologist and member of the alliance, said: “The Stonehenge Alliance now has almost 20,000 signatures asking for no further damage to the world heritage site. “It is extraordinary that archaeological evaluation trenching should be taking place within the WHS before any final decision on tunnel length, engineering feasibility and costing have been investigated. Our bottom line is that there should be no further damage to the WHS.” McMahon and Snashall say the design of the tunnel, the portals and problem areas such as the link roads and the lighting of its approaches, must be “exemplary”. “We can’t just let the highway engineers reach for off-the-shelf solutions – but if we get this right there is a chance of doing something which finally rejoins the two halves of this amazing landscape, and which can also set the standard for other ancient sites across the world.”  This topic is locked |  22nd December 2015ce 08:38 |
