Well, I have to confess I am quite interested in what may be found.. but to be honest, I am quite interested in what can be found in many sites... and why one stone circle should be singled out.. what about

or what about
Drombeg Live? http://www.stonepages.com/ireland/ireland.html
Kenmare Live http://www.stonepages.com/ireland/ireland.html
etc etc... why is it always stonehenge? why are millions spent on Stonehenge, why is the prehistoic of the UK represented by stonehenge, why is stonehenge the plave that the Olympics are making sure has a new visitors centre for?
Its a bit like when you watch Archaeology programmes on TV... we are interested in Egypt.. I indeed am very intrested.. but there are other places.. and I enjoy variety and diversity.
I live near a Medeival Hospital (Soutra) which has an amazing ammount of discovery/controversy about healing and medicine.. but the excavations and research that happen there? Not national news!
Yes we need an icon, but would it be too much to ask for more than just stonehenge? I guess people have not seen the massive news coverage about the return of Seahenge? (no neither did I) because... its not Stonehenge, and even the name Sea Henge, was just a reflection of the one and only... STONEHENGE...
Its an amazing monumnet... yes... granted.. fascinating ... but come on... there are others.
