I've been after a plan of this for ages, I'd love to know exactly which stones they found. Pete? Any idea?

They said they were going to do some 3D type of thing in the visitor's Center too, I don't think they have.
They should re-erect as many as they can. I would LOVE to help in some way, get on the end of a rope (although I'm sure it'd be all mechanical), but that'd be a dream for me. To have helped, in whatever small way, to re-erect an Avebury Stone.
I wish there was a plan to re-erect the Arbor Low Stones too. If ever a circle needed it this one does.

Yeah I know what numbers and where they are.
Originaly discovered by AC Smith and uncovered by him in the 1830's. (No one was interested in buying a rare copy of his book that I offered here a while ago)
The NT used Geofiz to find the same stones. Don't expect to see any results from them unless you are In with the Nt.
Mike Pitts is Desperate to raise stone 78 but his plans are going well so far.
