Re: Buried stones at Avebury.

On a probability, would it be right to restore the buried stones given that, to quote you again "It's now generally agreed by most restorers/conservators that if one is not sure what has been lost one leaves the missing area(s) blank"?


Good point ryaner.

Once again there are others here who know more about the location and number of the buried stones (and how close they are to their original positions) than me but my understanding is that there are maybe 15-20 known stones buried in the Avenues and Circle and that they are pretty close to their original positions. Politics and finances aside I don't think it would be too difficult (or contravening accepted restoration/conservation ethics) to re-erect some of them - perhaps starting with the easiest and tackling the more difficult ones when more understanding and experience of the task has been achieved.
