Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Also nice to see we agree that it *is* a privelege to be allowed such relatively free access to the stones.

The litterers abuse this, and really need to sort themselves out if this privilege is to continue.

I think that what people might forget is that if it's only one or two people standing on the stones, the damage would be minimal, but if it weren't discouraged, and if it were open access all year round, the damage would be noticeable with the amount of visitors Stonehenge gets. You only have to look at some of the more popular stones at Avebury for proof of human inflicted erosion.

In my previous post I mentioned the fence. Of course I'd be infinitely happier if the fence weren't there at all, or was a lot further outside the boundary of the stones, but it's something we have to live with, and be grateful that *someone* is looking after the stones. How successfully they're doing that is another matter altogether! ;)
