Right on! If I'd never been, that would get me there.



"Beneath a vast psychedelic folk art ceiling – "the Sistine chapel of Wiltshire" – a detailed map documents all the crop circles sighted in the area".

Describing the Barge Inn ;) I find the 'Sistine Painting' horrible but still, given the argument about modern stone circles and iron stapled rocks, has anyone seen the modern 'rock art' gate post dated 1990 by the Alton Barnes church, ( might be the Alton Priors one always get them muddled).

As for taking this thread further, don't really mind; fascinating news this morning about fossilised remains of a giant camel in Canada three million
years ago, or what about 50 acres of solar panels in Suffolk, archaeologists are demanding to survey the area before it goes up, sheep will graze beneath the panels apparently....
