hoax? Stonehenge getting paved over?

[Andy Gilham]

Have a look at http://homepages.tcp.co.uk/~ait/masterplan.html for more
info.  "Paving it over" is going a bit over the top, though there are
controversial aspects to what English Heritage are planning.  Dunno meself,
really.  The A303 is too close and something needs doing, but I don't know
what.
