A five foot rectangular column of stone has great utility to people of any era, even ours, so it's a wonder any of them have stayed in situ much beyond the day when their original significance was finally forgotten.

Or maybe they didn't. Are only 1 in 500 original circles still in existence?

Oh Mr S, don't. It could be a depressingly accurate estimate. There are similar thoughts about the survival ratio of rock art. I guess we should be glad there's anything left at all.
