You've posted loads of pictures of curricks, yet are saying they're from the Middle Ages. Bizarro.

Are you still on for some troubadouring ? I'm the guy that breaks the recent curricks and restores the old ones - I've been doing that for five years (after spending fifteen just looking). We'll not be on the fell till June but then I can show you the Longpot Head stone circle with a currick marking one of the alignments. Thom shows the same thing in his Megalithic Sites but says 'cairn'.

And then there's Holymire - it was only last year I spotted the circle. Most of the stones are only poking through the turf. The circle site is the only place these three heaps are visible from individually http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/post/20531 . But rather than gassing about it I'd rather we were carrying the fallen rocks back up the hill so I could restore them.

;)

I only post the ones that have a more obvious connection to the prehistoric. In fact, I've only posted pictures of three curricks altogether. I could post far more!

This worries me deeply, to be honest. You've still given us no idea of how you make the decision before you start the destruction. Or of how you know their original form before you begin the reconstruction.
