There are twenty of them, each like the one above. Together they could easily house those 60 buses. That’s the scale of ancient features that exist in the World Heritage landscape.
So if 20 massive features like those (and anything they contain!) can lie undiscovered just under the surface, who would risk driving new dual carriageways in cuttings just South of them, in the certain knowledge that much will be exposed in the process but will have to be hurriedly recorded and then bulldozed away forever?
For the answer, don’t apply to UNESCO, it opposes the plan. Apply instead to English Heritage, Historic England, and the National Trust who are straining every one of their claimed conservation sinews to do exactly that.
