Re: Buried stones at Avebury.

although I have to say, I think I actually prefer the pre-restoration Stonehenge!)


I know what you mean dok but there's a subtle difference between a restored Stonehenge and a restored Avebury.

Stonehenge is an attractive ruin in its own right, and as such has inspired artists and poets for hundreds of years; Avebury has not, and there is no artistic argument that supports leaving Avebury in such a ruinous state, especially when so many of its stones are lying just below the turf.
