Point of info Rhiannon, it isn't a case of "having some inkling about what the Done Thing is (as at Stonehenge)" people have the "don't climb on the stones and don't litter" message hammered home to them each year so it seems pretty likely failure to comply is, as you say a case of "just willful not-giving-a-shit."

(Unless of course we are to swallow the theory that dancing on the lintols is some gits idea of respect! Perhaps not, eh?)

Hi Nigel.

If you want to discuss a comment I've made elsewhere, then maybe you could respond to that comment directly rather than referencing it inaccurately in snide digs? Just a thought.

Especially at famous, obvious, I'm-deliberately-visiting-it sites like Silbury and Stonehenge. You don't climb up Silbury thinking it's an ordinary hill. You don't stand on the lintels at Stonehenge without knowing where you are.

Perhaps, maybe, whoever piled up those horse jumps at that stone Drew visited, they weren't thinking, they were so used to seeing that stone that they don't know what it really is, so they don't value it. Or like when I used to visit 'caesar's camp' when I was a kid and believed it was roman, I didn't really know what I was looking at. But that kind of blissful unawareness doesn't really wash at a massive site like silbury or stonehenge. Surely??
