Parva sub ingenti

New excavation forces archaeologists to ask: Is Stonehenge Roman? Good question. I fail to see why the Romans should be the exception.

In a small pit containing a small bluestone in the corner of the trench, itself cut into the main socket of one of the uprights, they found a Roman coin. Even more alarming, was the excavation of the large pit in the centre of the excavation, where right near the bottom they found a very small piece of what was indubitably Roman pottery. Was there a major reordering of the site in the Roman period?
