Henges aside, it doesn't look like the kind of archaeology that will bring throngs of paying punters in. And it certainly won't when the ploughsoil covers it again.
As for the Henges, am I right in thinking that public access is limited? Probably no interpretive boards either I bet.
As archaeologists we like to think that the public is as interested as us in what we are digging. I now realize that usually it is us, and not the few holes in the ground, that the public comes to see on open days.
Tourism to Thornborough is probably a non-starter.
