Stonehenge Riverside Project
www.shef.ac.uk/archaeology/research/stonehenge
Mike Parker Pearson, professor of archaeology at Sheffield University, provides a brief introduction to the excavations at Durrington Walls and elsewhere in the Stonehenge world heritage site. There are also online PDF copies of the project's interim reports for 2004 and 2005.

Stonehenge interactive map
www.english-heritage.org.uk/stonehengeinteractivemap/index.html
English Heritage has produced an interactive map of the Stonehenge world heritage site, showing Durrington Walls and other ancient sites in relation to Stonehenge itself. There is a brief illustrated feature on Durrington Walls, including a 360-degree view of the site. The website also includes a time map showing how the Stonehenge landscape developed through prehistoric times and a time line providing an at-a-glance view of the relationship between the construction of the different monuments.

Thornborough Neolithic Henge Complex
http://thornborough.ncl.ac.uk/index.htm
Virtually unknown and unresearched until very recently, the Thornborough Neolithic henge complex, in north Yorkshire, is the largest such site outside the Wessex chalklands. Damaged by quarrying, from which it is still under threat, it has been the subject of a vigorous conservation campaign. The website includes a description of the complex, which includes six large henges within 10 kilometres of each other, reports of recent archaeological projects at Thornborough and a virtual tour of the site.
