Professor Trevor Cox: Was Stonehenge an ancient acoustic chamber?

For decades, Stonehenge, the mysterious prehistoric circle of stones built on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, has left scientists scratching their heads. Who exactly built it and what was it used for?

We spoke to Professor Trevor Cox, the acoustic engineer heading up the study, to find out more.
