Looks like Tarmac will be there, so you can some well balanced half truths.
I'd suggest asking why they decided not to use Magnetometry on a site that probably contains a large number of hearths.
Ask them to tell you about Area 1 on Nosterfield quarry. Ask them how many Neolithic features they found via the 2% sample at Area 1, where it is located, and how many Neolithic features (1. definate, 2. possible) they actually discovered.
Ask the same questions about Ladybridge and invite tham to suggest the likely number and distribution of archaeological features on the site.
Also ask about the depth of the features found at Area 1 - maximum and minimum, you may as well ask them what their strategy (written a year before the archaeological evaluation of Ladybridge had been completed) for treating the archaeology contained on Ladybridge is.
Finally, don't forget to check all that is said to you via the original archaeological reports. It would be terrible to take everything that is said at face value and find out later that you had been misinformed.
Oh, maybe you could ask them why they are giving the public the impression that the three henges are the only monuments of importance at Thornborough?
