>What I think is missing is an appreciation /interpretation of the wider landscape.

I agree. To be honest, the hurlers spooked me once, so I am a bit ambivalent about the site itself, but it's placement in the landscape was no random act, and this should be highlighted to visitors.

Given that the area has been so worked over in the years since the stones went up, I'm unable to decide if I'd look at reconstruction as just another chapter in it's ongoing history, or as gratuitous tampering with a monument that has put up with enough grief over the years as it is. Fence sitter that I am.

Thanks to those of you who posted constructive comments...I have no idea what the hell cowley is going on about and do not wish to get dragged into the fetid mire he seems to live in. With regard to the wider landscape, there was also a suggestion put forward to do a study on just that. This will centre on the Rillaton Barrow. There area also suggestions to look more deeply at Caradon Hill, which contains one of the largest concentrations of burial sites in Cornwall.
I will write more on this later..
