• Stonehenge is not the stones. The stones are a stone circle within Stonehenge (a henge is a circular bank and ditch where the ditch is on the inside). The World Heritage designated monument is also not just Stonehenge, it is Stonehenge and the surrounding environ, which includes Avebury, the Avenue/Mall, the Kings Barrows etc etc. Pisses all over the pyramids.

  • Yeah, that is an unfortunate piece of infrastructure. CSB, but an exercise during my Masters (Managing Archaeological Sites) was looking at what to do about the road.
