Curious. If they are certain enough about the site to, presumably, spend money to 'obatin' the land, why don't they pay for a survey for the holes and then arrange excavation? That way they could put the stones back in the exact place and in the exact order and learn more about the site whilst they are at it!

An excavation would show where the stones were but I'm not sure if it would let you know exactly which stone went where. From the excavations I have been on holes are large with small stones packed around the large one so that would make it difficult I should think.
