Thanks for that Jim. There's footage of the prog here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_7270000/newsid_7271700/7271759.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1&bbcws=1

One thing that caught my eye was the consolidation of a delaminating section of one of the stones. It's probably been mentioned elsewhere but I wonder if some of the flat surfaces on some of the uprights are due to the effects of delaminating rather than to the stones actually being dressed in antiquity...
