Though a little late in the day for Silbury, "We should have the wisdom to know when to leave the place alone."*

If what they are sticking back in, to fill the voids, matches the kind of material originally used in its construction, then I say get it in there.

It's the person who wants to include a bronze sword or a crystal I'm worried about.
