Neolithic discovery could sink Stonehenge tunnel

Fresh calls have been made to scrap the A303 tunnel after the discovery of an enormous neolithic site.

Leading archaeologists have called for the £1.6bn scheme to build a road tunnel through the Stonehenge landscape to be scrapped after stumbling upon the biggest prehistoric site in Britain.

It turns out that Stonehenge is just part of a much wider complex dating back 4,500 years.

Mike Parker Pearson, professor of British later prehistory at University College London, said: “This is just another reason to give up this disastrous white elephant of a scheme.”
