Congratulations..I must come down and have a look sometime..

As for the idea of re-erecting Mulfra....shall we then go on and do Zennor and Trethevy? I don't think so...for all we know they were like that originally, I am certain the cap stone at Trethevy never would have sat on top of the other stones without the aid of earth or stones piled up around...and once that earth was stripped away the stone fell because there was so little to support it.

As for planning permission...

ha ha you don't really think mulfra and zennor were like that originally , and you can see the stone thats fell at trethevy, i say restore them all, because some people know how they are meant to be, chuns a great local example , spinsters is not, you should travel more away from where you live and see a bigger picture ,eg irelands/wales/france full of intact examples, some very very simarlar to cornwalls RUINED ones.
