The fate of the ancient timber circle known as Seahenge has been decided. The
4000-year-old monument will be preserved for future generations, English
Heritage said last week. The circle, excavated from a beach in Norfolk in 1999,
surrounds a ritually buried tree. Modern-day druids wanted to return the henge
to its original location, but experts feared the timbers would disintegrate
(Â鶹´«Ã½, 24 March, p 7).
They will now be infused and sealed
with wax at the Flag Fen archaeological centre near Peterborough in a five-year
project.
