Standing the Test of Time at Stonehenge
One of the most significant conservation projects at Stonehenge in over 60 years begins today, English Heritage has announced, as it revealed the toll that erosion and past repairs have taken on the 4500-year-old structure. The project will see the charity undertake vital steps to care for the historic stone circle; repairing cracks in the lintels – the elevated horizontal stones that make Stonehenge so iconic – and the re-packing of joints with lime mortar to keep the stones safe into the future. To mark the significance of this work, English Heritage has invited the man, who as a boy in the 1950s placed a 1958 halfpenny beneath a sarsen during restoration works, to return to the stones and place a 2021 coin beneath a lintel.
