A 'heads up' about a two part programme about what lies underneath Stonehenge. I think the first episode is on Thursday - Ch4 - 8/9pm?
Bit vague I know but I left my TV guide at home!


Hi Carl, heres the BBC link. Looks good, will be watching!

Perhaps they will be revealing more detail about those cursus pits mentioned some time ago?


Interesting that there was no mention of the Heel stone in the clip , as this was considered as the the observing point of the alignment over the sites of the pits (despite one being unsighted from the monument ) to the solstices when the idea was first mooted .One of these was correct the other ,the unsighted western pit , wrong . Have they accepted the mistake and now changing the "alignments" to a far less accurate "Stonehenge " . The pits have never been excavated , never mind dated yet the are mentioned as being part of the reason for the building of the monument " 400 years later " . Then there was mention of "proof of a day long ceremony " .The procession nonsense is even more risible and the basis for the suggestion has been shown to be wrong .It gets worse .
