Not so: “In June 2024, a UK judge ruled that the portrayal of academic Richard Taylor in the film The Lost King, co-written and produced by Steve Coogan, was defamatory”

very good! Had to learn that one at school.

Yes but see also: “In June 2024, a UK judge ruled that the portrayal of academic Richard Taylor in the film The Lost King, co-written and produced by Steve Coogan, was defamatory”

Awful sentiments by SC and under the circumstance very unwise I would say!

Not sure but I took the photo yesterday. I think it’s on tour……

Dear oh dear.

Another essential reference is the files. For example the paper to the Ancient Monuments Board recommending closure. See also Silbury.

I’ve never heard of “no ropes days” before - interesting. That would be a bit counter to the reason it was closed in the first place. I’d love to know more! Obviously it was closed for years before EH existed.

Glad my understanding of 1978 being the key date was right. Thanks.

Good news - hope it makes people think twice about making inaccurate films - particularly depictions of people - which purport to be based on facts. Still feel angry about the portrait of Peggy Piggott in The Dig!

I was always getting this when I worked there. “We could walk inside the stones until only a few years ago……“. I think it was ‘78 when the ropes were introduced! They were certainly there on my undergrad field visit in 1980.

Hope everyone helped! You’ll be able to reconstruct that road trip now :-) - seems you did a lot of travelling.

I immediately thought of Chysauster - from reading the replies it seems you DID get there!! :-) Prehistoric but not Neolithic.

Well done!
