...but there must be somewhere that the majority of UK archaeologists would draw a line in the sand. Say for example this was a High Speed railline that proposed crossing Salisbury Plain and seriously compromising (maybe even destroying) monuments/sites in its path...sure there would be plenty of work as a result and potentially some very interesting sites, but if the purpose of the rail link was to enable a few well off folk a faster link to their east Dorsetshire golf course or yacht marina wouldn't some of us feel that maybe the end didn't justify the means...?
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
