I've never heard of this before.

‘Tall Stout Man’, over 6 feet tall, buried in Bush Barrow, a huge burial mound that boasts the most commanding view of Stonehenge from nearby Normanton Down.

Buried with the same treasures as a Pharaoh.

I always wanted to see Stonhenge, my parents did and my son did.

"they are too precious to put on show without extensive security."

....ah....this is England, right? Is there some reason the Tower of London would be insufficient?
