Hi.
I visited the Whitehill sites yesterday, and one particular site for the first time since i took photos of the stones in the 1970s. Although some modern damage exists, it is still possible to get a feel for the place.
The hilltop site was very overgrown, though, and it took us much searching before we found the outcrop.

What worried me more than modern name-carving was the effect that fire had on some of the exposed stone. One stone by the footpath showed evidence of a fire and cracking. It is a sad indictment on modern man that some people still don't realise what others have known for centuries, and indeed what our stone age ancestors knew - that fire can split rock.

We are Pagan, and treat the sites with proper reverence. A pity others can't do the same.
