Preparation work has begun ahead of building a new multi million-pound visitor centre near Stonehenge.
Pre-construction tests are being carried out at the site and work on the centre itself will begin next month.
The visitor centre is expected to open in autumn 2013
The tests aim to see if a ground water source can provide sufficient drinking water and energy for a year-round heating/cooling system for the centre.The centre, about a mile-and-a-half (2.4km) west of the prehistoric stones, is expected to open in autumn 2013.
A Grade-II listed Airman’s Cross memorial at nearby Airman’s Corner will be re-sited in the grounds of the centre.
