Oh, too bad. The virtual reconstruction is totally cool. Of course I have no idea how accurate it is; in fact it looks a little TOO precisely spaced to be completely true to life, and the virtual stones themselves are pretty crude polygons. But it's wonderfully interactive, and provides viewing both from the air and the ground.

I like it because it confirms my thoughts about the place being a stone mind prison. But that's just me.

Stone mind prison, brilliant.
If you saw the place as it is now, with its stalag fencing around it , guards dressed like prison officers, a so called visitor centre, that the army must have built.
You are bang on, they have imprisoned them, and they say this is a free country.
What the visitors from around the world must think of us, pathetic sheep, herded by lunatics.

What's a stone mind prison?

Time-hallow'd pile by simple builders rear'd!
Mysterious round, through distant times rever'd!
Ordained with earth's revolving orb to last!
Thou bringst to sight the present and the past.
Rapt with her theme, bold Fancy wings her flight
To silent ages long involved in night
Bids clouded forms arise to sight display'd
And scatters light along th' oblivious shade.

John Ogilvie (1733-1813)*
