Druid defeat

A druid has lost his high court challenge to stop archaeologists investigating ancient human remains found at Stonehenge

The druid, who had changed his name to King Arthur Pendragon, sought to bring a judicial review challenging the decision of the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) to allow Sheffield University researchers to study the remains, which are about 5,000 years old, on the basis they were those of royalty and should be returned to the site. However, Mr Justice Wyn Williams found there was insufficient evidence to show the MoJ acted unreasonably.
