Being a 'monitor' for Historic England's HAR officer in my area I shot the film for her as there is talk about infilling the 'ponds'. Personally, purely from a 'looks nice as it is' angle, I like it like this, but of course it can't be ignored having already been re-erected in the 30's I believe. It is the most beautiful and quiet spot which in early evening is visited by hordes of ponies coming down to drink from the natural waterholes just to the south of the circle and is a wonderful sight. Of course many also ignore them and head straight for the circles ponds instead, which of course just exacerbates the problem. https://youtu.be/5t0ix1tNl8o Yes, it is beautiful as I saw from a recent midsummer's eve photo posted by thesweetcheat. http://www.themodernantiquaria[...]_of_altarnun.html#comment22750 Whether he will want to come back and discuss it with you (for reasons I won't refer to here) remains to be seen. So why mention it? What happens on another thread on a separate forum and for a totally different matter has nothing to do with this thread June and not to be brought over here. I have mentioned before that I have nothing but respect for Alkin when it comes to a subject he knows well i.e. archaeology, where all of his reports are excellent and make for a good read. He is as welcome as anyone to comment on the site and video and discuss as this is a common interest we share.
