Just sort of moving on a bit, assuming that the Sanctuary is now pretty well dug to extinction with little or anything more to gain from it, would you like to see it re-instated with new stones to give it a similar look to that of Aubreys days to make it more visually satisfying?

Based on the above assumption, then yes.



Big assumption there, it isn't dug to extinction, but to play the game anyway:

Removal of concrete pods - yes, a hologram that appears from my watch phone that reveals what it might have been like - yes, a handful of tma-ers wanting to fake prehistory - no!

Piggott called Keiller's Avebury 'megalithic gardening, Ruskin stated that restoration was 'a Lie from beginning to end.' I'm with them!



Nope, leave the sanctuary as it is, unless proof can be found that those wall stones definitely came from there, then i'd have no objection to them being reinstated, but "new" stones for a reconstruction ? Not for me thanks. :)
