:07:53. > :07:55.The survey was part of a community led Heritage and an environment
:07:56. > :07:57.project. Just to find that somebody, whether it's achieved for a king or
:07:58. > :08:02.a queen, some amazingly important person, is buried here, has just
:08:03. > :08:06.blown some of the community away. The next plan is for a full-scale
:08:07. > :08:10.archaeological survey for a site still surrounded by the views which
:08:11. > :08:12.made it a prime location for an important Bronze Age burial.
