Hmm, looks like most of the rest of that website is 'borrowed' from elsewhere as well, the Stonehenge Mystery section is from here - http://www.suite101.com/content/monuments-and-mysteries-stonehenge-a185333
and the About Stonehenge section is from here -
http://www.sacredsites.com/europe/england/stonehenge.html
some of the Stonehenge Links are lifted directly from here -
http://www.britainexpress.com/great_british_sites/ancient-stonehenge.htm
...etc...etc...
What's the betting that 'merlin @ stonehenge' is as fictional as the rest of the website? Even the website registrant sounds dubious although it is registered to an address in Salisbury (real or not).

Sorry Chris, I'm afraid I did assume it was you, but thanks for the clarification.
I can delete my comment above if you want or perhaps change it to something along the lines of, "This site has nothing to do with Chris Collyer and content appearing there, from his own website, has been used without his permission."

Looks like its being run by:
http://www.stonehengetours.com/
This page is basically selling the tours:
http://www.stonehenge-stone-circle.co.uk/private-stonehenge-tours.htm
So if you do want to discuss how copyright works, they would be the ones to talk to :)

Hmm or maybe not. All a bit odd, lots of affiliate links etc to churn in the cash!

I think 'odd' is the word. I don't think it's trying to make money as the info and links all point to different websites that are probably unaware of its existence. It looks more like a robot generated site but what for I've no idea, it doesn't seem to be booby trapped, maybe it's trying to gather email addresses in the comment boxes? Who knows?

No need for apologies LS, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I don't know why the site was created but it just seems to be an amalgamation of various other web pages. If you could take out the comment, no need to replace it with anything else, although it might be better to remove the link altogether as it seems a bit shady. It's your call.

Thanks Chris.
Have deleted my original comment. Think, as you say though, the whole strand should be taken out.
