Seems like most of us would like to see at least some re-erection (noting that at least one person doesn’t want to see any re-erection and others would like to see a total re-erection). So (correct me if I’m wrong) some excavation/re-erection (think there are a few stones that could be re-erected without much if any excavation by the way) is OK with most of us.

Trouble is, as with other threads, we discuss issues and then do little or nothing to implement what we think should be implemented...

Problem is LS what can people do ? how many people post here now? ten, maybe twelve ? what impact can us regular Joe's have, very little in reality, imo. I'd be up for giving it a go but i don't know the ins and outs, and people here are so fragmented now any process would quickly fall down anyway, again imo. So where next. ?

Presumably any approach could be made under the Scheduled Monument Consent (SMC). Excavation can be applied for by anyone I am informed but usually requires a full project design, justification for the works and experience before considering granting SMC. We would need a 'name' archaeo on board I guess.
