Funnily enough I've just finished reading the Francis Pryor book for the second time. He makes the point that it would have been destroyed within a few years or less if a strong enough storm came along. Exposure of the oaks to the air would have meant there'd be nothing to see now I'm sure.

Do you really believe that though ? I'm not convinced myself.
The cynic in me see's that as a very good excuse to do what they did, but locals did say they'd known of and seen the circle for over 40 years and at times it did get covered naturally by the sea which afforded protection.

I'm not (pardon the pun) having a dig at TT, it's very easy to condemn with hindsight isn't it.
