The Western Portal is to close to the Ancient burial Mounds and the Eastern to close to 'Blickmead' Archaeological site, and that there are issues with light pollution to the west and water tables to the East. A longer bored tunnel entering and Exiting outside of the World Heritage Site would be preferable. Stonehenge has more sacred and archaeological features that go beyond the visible stones, with regards to not only Woodhenge, but the recently discovered larger henge through recent geological discoveries and the disruptions to the landscape by a bored tunnel is wrong in every way. There is still so much more to be discovered with ever more increasing expertise in detection of ground and subterranean traces of more sacred areas, that this is the worse possible time to propose any tunnel bores. If you really have permission and approval for this, at least please make the length of the tunnel much longer.
