A six foot exclusion zone really isn’t big enough is it, and a fence around an area that small would be an eyesore. The exclusion zone would need to be increased to what? 50 foot? before a fence at that distance no longer impinged visually on the monument. Wouldn’t need to be a fence either, a hawthorn hedge with a gate in it would do the trick. Have a grassed area between the quoit and the hedge, a couple of benches there maybe, and suddenly it’s a place of wonder and respect for the monument (and the people who made it) instead of the muck and chaos that surrounds it now.

Just a vision, a little money and the will to make it happen...
