But it's been suggested i decide if the pieces should be relocated. I don't have the right to do so. Especially as it means the pieces will be taken out of their original context.

Keeping them in their original context is an important point, and unless they’re likely to be stolen, damaged or destroyed that’s probably where they should stay.

Just a thought, but on what basis does anyone think they are in their original context? They're built into a (much later than prehistoric) wall, so presumably have already been removed from whatever their original context was.

I don’t know, we seem to be lacking a few details. One of the two stones is now in a wall, the other is where? I guess if both stones can be situated where they originally were we’d be close to having them back in their original context...
