I can't remember giving a reply on the other thread.
So, for what it's worth, I'll try to give my thoughts now...These thoughts are not specifically for "ancient" sites, but those which I also consider to be special to me for reasons of beauty or location.

When I visit a place for the first time, my feelings are usually created by a mixture of what mood I am in, the reasons for going (special trip or just passing) and who I am with.
My feelings on subsequent visits are usually merged with memories from the last visit. I usually think of the people I have been there with before.
I usually "take stock" and pause for a moment or two. I try to imagine what it looked like originally (with ancient sites) and the reasons, but I most likely don't succeed.
If I feel a place is boring I move on.
If not, I stay a while longer.
I usually take a few photos.
If I feel a hankering, I return.
That's it.
