They "turned down the suggestion"!!!!
That's a bit bare-faced isn't it since it was THEIR suggestion, in fact THEIR avowed intention that they defended like tigers"

How does it fit in with all they wrote to those who asked them to reconsider?

And with this -
English Heritage spokeswoman Helen Nesbitt said: "As part of the education and outreach work around the conservation project to stabilise Silbury Hill, English Heritage has worked with Avebury and Kennet Valley primary schools to create a time capsule for the Hill.

and this -
But hardcore earth lovers have disputed the burial on websites The Modern Antiquarian and Heritage Action, saying it isn't befitting for a modern item to be inserted.
English Heritage and the school have defended the ceremony saying it is the right of local people to leave their mark.

Rewriting history or what?!
