Examples
“The collection of rocks is a national landmark that looks something like a Stonehenge on the prairie.”
“Within weeks of winning the General Election in July 2024, the government halted a planned tunnel for the A303 past Stonehenge in Wiltshire. It stated that the £2 billion scheme was "poor value for money". […] The West of England line carries a tiny fraction of the volumes on the parallel road [A303], and Stonehenge is a nationally notorious bottleneck.”
