I don't think there's a time limit but I've seen EH saying they hope visits will last a bit longer in future, 2 plus hours. Tour Cos will probably not want to stay too long anyway.

Try as I might I can't see a lot wrong with the broad solution. Details, yes, lots but not overall. And you still haven't said how you'd deal with it (democratically!).

Easy for me to answer but won't happen. Remove the ropes, limit the numbers and let people wander around the stones as they do at Avebury under the watchful eye of attendants. The usual excuse of damaging the archaeology is seriously flawed by the free access given at Solstice time when the loons run riot. Only then would I ever consider visiting again.
