Well done to you and others David for making the effort to turn up and hopefully record many of the items that may be found. I'm usually against detecting next to sensitive areas like this, but it seems on this occasion that detecting so near to the henge's may help in preventing future plans by Tarmac to advance up to the site.
We as detectorist often do fail to take into account the whole landscape with some of these digs put on. Its worth a debate, but I fear that any such debate would be overtaken by the need to dig rather than the need for a sensible approach in such areas.
The Henge's might just benefit from evidence collected, provided the evidence is forthcoming at the rally. I would think those who have organised this rally will be aware of this and have some plan in place to make sure as much as possible will be recorded.
I look forward to hearing how yours and others efforts are both received and credited David. Deer hunting can be as much about conservation and education as collecting in my personal experience of doing so!
Evil to him who thinks evil.
