In 1980 a strange artwork appears in the form of a kind of Woodhenge, an elegant alignment of short, thick posts to which no function can be ascribed. By 1987 they too have almost dissolved into the undergrowth, though in 1989 they re-emerge as if exposed by archeologists. The primeval slabs disappear into the undergrowth again, as general improvements change the face of the area.

Those stubborn pillars of Woodhenge, however, make a brief comeback in 2008, only to be once more submerged to provide a tease for archeologists of the future. The space in general, so long unoccupied, starts to have a communal purpose with picnickers at home in it in 2013, yet despite proximity to the huge Sainsbury's complex that has grown up to the left, a little of the pastoral remains. The great god Pan is not entirely dead.
