Lots of things, obviously, but the central one is the fact they’re an enigma. We live in a unique age where the predominant ethos is that we think we understand much and what we don’t others do, or will one day. It’s a non-human mindset for which our ancient brains are ill-equipped. (I know you’ll like this, Tombo!) So we encounter something, in the middle of a twenty first century country, that’s standing there as bold as brass saying come on then, what am I?… you lot will never know, because our builders are dead and wrote nothing down, and half the clues are missing but we’re showing you just enough to let you keep guessing till Hell freezes over!
I don’t know that the builders meant it this way, but I see them as a gigantic V sign from them to us – we might be dead but we know stuff you’ll never know so don’t be so cocky!

Mystery is the only religion left to us. We aren’t designed to live without religion. So for me, it's my nature that calls me to the stones.
