Blick's Mead is a unique site in so much as it provides a constant source of water at about 10* C all year round from subterranium sources. This must have been vital to the support of the work-force that built Stonehenge whilst living at Durrington Walls. The unfrozen water would attract animals in the winter and provide much needed food to the local population. The tunnel is too close to this essential part of the landscape and will still leave it cut off from the rest of the integrated landscape. It may interrupt the water courses suppling the small lake.
