    Well I guess it makes more sense than throwing flour on a Bronze Age world heritage site.

      Technically it predates the British bronze age, it’s one of the few well-preserved neolithic sites. Though any permanent damage done by yesterday’s stunt is 100% the fault of the fossil fuel capitalists for sabotaging the last fifty years of environmental policy, I don’t blame the kids at all

        Yes, but then we’d have to explain it was started in the Neolithic, but the last stage was early Bronze Age and might have been built by the people whose DNA replaced 85ish percent of the native Britains, and it’s not even a proper henge and it’s still not as good as Avebury etc etc :)

        I haven’t read the article, but does it mention how many people there were, how far they travelled and by what method. Was the cornflour locally sourced?

          Damn, I hate moving into a new house and finding out that they’ve left a bunch of half finished projects that are now my job to fix.
