What I like most about Burl is his writing style , simply very readable , not something I could say for most archaeo writing today. The subject matter was usually interesting too . Imo we owe him a great debt .

It's like he delights in saying something that will trip you up, unless you have carefully read and understood what has come before. Theres a touch of the mischievous there, like he's not giving it away for free, you have to apply yourself.

I saw him talk at the museum in Devizes, a good few years ago now, the title was 'The Invisible Stone Circle'.
