News: Stonehenge Recruiting for a General Manager

English Heritage, which owns Stonehenge, is looking for a general manager to keep the ancient stone circle running smoothly. Seeing as no one really knows what the site was built for, I guess the concept of ensuring it "runs smoothly" is more to do with keeping tourists entertained and preventing damage to the megalithic monument than making sure it operates in the way it was originally intended.

There are some very mixed feelings about this new job and here are links to some of the write-ups in the press and on other websites:
