OUTING: Stones of Stonehenge Project:  visit to Clatford Excavations - 18 August
The Stonehenge Riverside Project Team is investigating a possible henge and a suspected causeway used in the transport of sarsen stone from the Marlborough area to Stonehenge in August.
With the thanks to the Site Director, Mike Parker Pearson, we have been able to arrange a visit to the site on the weekend of 18 and 19 August. Numbers are strictly limited, so prior booking is essential 


Find the location on Google maps - labelled as The Electric Wheel Company.


(I have my ticket and will report back)

  2. By the way, did you know that the University of Birmingham has also arranged for an informal meeting at Cursus Ridge Barrows, Stonehenge on the same day?

    Thanks - There is a second Clatford visit on the Sunday, so Brummies could do both!

    Cheers
