Apropos today's post on the Stonehenge cinema...

I've recently been in contact with Henry Rothwell from the Digital Digging blog. He's pointed me to a blog post he's done, relating to the story of the 'cinema' experience.

See: http://t.co/lVG5WuXfEY An archaeological event for the under-7's sounds like goo...
