LONDON — A man claiming to be a descendant of the Celtic priestly order of the druids lost a legal battle Tuesday to spare from more scientific examination human remains found at Britain’s World Heritage site of Stonehenge.

The High Court in London ruled that the cremated remains of more than 40 bodies — believed to be at least 5,000 years old — should stay in the hands of archaeologists at least until 2015.

Arthur Uther Pendragon, who styles himself as the Battle Chieftain of the Council of British Druid Orders and a reincarnation of King Arthur, wanted the remains to be reburied immediately.
