BERNARD SHAW, CNN ANCHOR: Now to Great Britain where, for the first time in 16 years, members of the general public are spending the night at Stonehenge celebrating the summer solstice. Revelers were banned from this prehistoric monument in 1985 after clashes with British police. The owner's expecting several thousand people to welcome dawn at these huge stones.</s>JUDY WOODRUFF: Speaking of which, the experts are divided over just who built Stonehenge. A recent attempt to recreate part of the process encounter a huge stumbling block. Linda Kennedy reports.</s>LINDA KENNEDY, ITN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): This is the millennium stone, a three-ton rock en route to Stonehenge, supposed to be moved by the same means of centuries ago. But where stone-age man succeeded, it seems 21st century man has failed. Its journey began in the Welsh mountains, heading for Wiltshire and the site of the famous circle of stones. But just off the Welsh coast at Dale is where disaster struck. It was loaded on to these ancient rowing boats, but a strap gave, and it sank.</s>PHIL BOWEN, PROJECT ORGANIZER: We now implement the back-up plan, which is looking at the salvage. We know where it is. We know that it lies in 16 1/2 meters of water. We know it doesn't pose a problem to future shipping traffic. And the aim is to get the stone back up, on a beach, latched to the cutters (ph) and continue the journey.</s>KENNEDY: It was almost submerged once before on its route when it fell off another craft. After rescue then, the next snag was slow progress on firmer ground. So many problems, despite help stone-age man didn't have -- a huge lottery grant. Stonehenge may yet see the millennium stone, but the project's critics are now growing. Not least, as on this solstice, with the public allowed in for the first time in years, so much attention is on sinking, not standing stones. Linda Kennedy, ITN.
