"Whether they are excavated will depend on local feeling, she says.
“We’re treading very carefully on the excavation issue,” Dr Wickstead said. “We want to be sure that it’s what people living in Damerham village want. It’s their heritage.”

I don't like the sound of that. Isn't it creating a difficulty and assigning rights that don't exist? Do the deeds of houses in Damerham include a right of ownership to the local archaeology and a veto over whether it's excavated? Is this a politically correct backwash from the Avebury re-burial consultation issue? Dig it up and stuff the locals says I - it's my heritage as much as theirs.... ;)
