Something that could be reasonably practicable would be to construct a full scale accurate replica at the new visitor's centre. (See below) Then the "proles" could at least get a feeling for the place. Any damage could be easily repaired, the site vacuumed at the end of each day. They could even use Neolithic techniques in its construction!

You'd have to be careful giving the measurements. It could turn out to be a cross between Spinal Tap and Handy Andy.

The thing that is missing now is the contact with the stones, that's why people go 'gee I didn't think it was so small' because it isn't actually that small, it's what's called perspective. the tallest is about 22ft high, pretty tall. Like I say, you could have the new version of stonehenge in london, save all those tourists coming out to wessex. They only go on to Bath and get in the way.
