de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Britain's oldest pavement dating back 4,000 YEARS is uncovered between two ancient ceremonial circles in Cornwall

Cornwall’s Historic Environment group has spent the past week uncovering the pavement at the Hurlers stone circles site near Minions on Bodmin Moor (bottom right(). Experts at the site claim the 4ft wide stone walkway - known as a ‘crystal causeway’ or ‘processional pathway’ - originally linked two ceremonial circles (left). Dig director James Gossip said several clues to the Bronze Age people who built it have been found including two flint tools (top right). Lead archaeologist Jacky Nowakowski added: ‘We still don’t know exactly what it is, but by carrying out this work we may discover more about this extremely enigmatic site.'
