Stonehenge again, or at least its near vicinity. A very interesting article, particularly the question of whether these pits had any kind of astronomical significance, and 'optically stimulated luminescence (OSL)', which I hadn't heard of before:

OSL sounds really wild. I wonder how easily it is applied. If quite easily, then it should undoubtedly be the first thing done at any site.
I do wonder if this is going to have any impact on the decision to build a motorway tunnel near there. Still hoping that will be averted.
