A Stonehenge site in the U.K. allegedly suffered significant damage due to drilling in advance of a controversial highway tunnel project, reports the BBC. Workers with Highways England are accused of creating a ten-foot-deep hole in a 6,000-year-old manmade platform at Blick Mead. That area featured the footprints of now-extinct sort of giant cattle and perhaps held the clues necessary to unraveling the mystery of why Stonehenge was built, notes NBC News. Highways England maintains that its workers did nothing wrong.
