Isn't the decent thing to erect just one or two now and have another think in 100 years?


With respect Nigel, no. The responsible* thing is to re-erect those stones that can be (confidently) re-erected without further delay and, in so doing, learn how the more difficult ones can be properly restored to their original positions - not within a timeframe of 100 years but more reasonably within a timeframe of, say, 15 to 20 years .

I agree with you that, "The original sockets contain a lot of info." Retrieving that information basically involves the same approach as re-erecting the stones.

* I define 'responsible' in this context as the restoration of our heritage in the shortest possible time.
