It's always been like that as long as I've known about it. The plants and grass are cut back in an extreme way once a year. Early May is the best time i've found to visit there as there, when their is an abundance of Bluebells and Wild Garlic on the way up to Nine Barrow down. The stones seem extremely random, at least until I spent much more time there, now they kind of make more sense.

Do you think stones have been moved recently?
