Info here about the Rotherwas Ribbon, a 4000 yr old 'serpent' structure near Hereford that they are apparently going to continue building a road through in spite of its acknowledged importance.

A site has been set up to protest about this at:

I don't know.... they're talking about protecting it and building the road over the top. Which is fine, but it seems to me the thing is in the context of a LOT of surrounding archeology, all of which would, one presumes, be bulldozed. Work should be stopped immediately and a full excavation take place.

“If anyone can show me, and prove to me, that I am wrong in thought or deed; I will gladly change. I seek the truth, which never yet hurt anybody. It is only persistence in self-delusion and ignorance which does harm.”
Marcus Aurelius, Bk. VI, xxi.
