So, implicitly, there maybe other areas of ground disturbance in the environs soon. It would be nice to think that other means of arhaeological and ground surface analysis have already been deployed - remember there'll be the 'non public' lidar as well as that now in the public domain, for example - and this work us at least a followup: what odds? Stonehenge is a long way from being my personal favourite site, a cash cow honeypot imo now sadly... I remember the very early '60's and shall not return, but, nonetheless, there's the principle. Yes, I fear the done deal, the 'we understand what you're saying (but.....)'. I despise the devious and duplicitous, those who like their voice to be last, whatever argument may be proferred by others, however reasonable that may be. Anywhere. A case in point is probably going to be at this site.


I truly hope it's not a done deal - heaven knows there are enough well respected 'experts' and others others raising their voices against the tunnel. And a few sensible alternatives have been suggested such as making that section of the A303 one way with the proposed by-pass servicing the other direction.

Off topic, I've been reading your recent posts with interest and a little puzzlement. Your final paragraph above suggests you are angry - "I despise the devious and the duplicitous ..." are you talking about the Government or Highways England - or something else.
