Sorry but this is misleading. This site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument number 396. The local EH monuments inspector accepts that this is a genuine ancient monument - I know her quite well - and has been responsible for putting together a project for excavation work here in connection with a previous attempt to get it re-erected. The present pile of stones there does include some fields clearance but this is undoubtedly a genuine monument. It was after all recorded by William Borlase when it was still standing, before one of the upright stones fell in 1842.
It's real and it deserves to be treated as such. The "local archaeology guys" absolutely do NOT "tend towrds it being natural/etc".
