SOURCE: BBC (7-5-07)
Plans to build a new road over a 4,000-year-old serpent-shaped feature in Herefordshire have been criticised.
Archaeologists have said the ribbon of stones, known as the Rotherwas Ribbon, is of similar importance to Stonehenge.
Herefordshire council said a protective shield will be built over the site to preserve it for future generations. A relief road will then be built over it.
