Not such a problem with places like West Kennet, the majority of damage and wear is people-related.
Perhaps what we need to is make these places really unattractive to the coachloads of daytrippers. Can we find a nice friendly travel correspondent from a well-read newspaper to publish an article about how rubbish Avebury and West Kennet are, soo last year, only very silly people go there anymore, etc?
Then get a celebrity to make similar comments, preferably via twitter.
