I meet friends for coffee three or four times a week, some I knew when I was very young and kept in touch wherever we were and others I met through work over the years. |

Bad planning allowed the structure to be built so close to a busy road. |

I too visited it before it was commercialised, I remember touching the stones. I actually don't remember when I went there but it was before 1960. |

Woodhenge is pretty boring - but Avebury has a museum, and a couple of pubs nearby :-D :-D :-D |

Sharon, I walked around it in the 1960s before it was 'taken over', I was surprised to see that it was out of bounds when I was next along there. |

I've passed it many a time, or, in times of Gridlock, the driver has 'rat-runned' through Larkhill, but haven't been there since English Heritage got their hands on it. |

See that's the trouble what would be destroyed, lots we can assume. |

There are known to be preserved hoof prints of wild cattle, known as aurochs, near to where the proposed flyover would be built - and goodness knows what they don't know is there. |
