Well, the main alignments are certainly fenced off by a not-entirely-impenetrable 4ft fence! With gates, which, I believe, are unlocked outside of peak season...

It's not impossible, by any means, to get in amongst the stones, but I presume the desire to keep people out due to erosion is a warranted one, as it's a ridiculously popular destination!

There's plenty of big ol' rocks in the area that AREN'T fenced off, if people really feel the need to get in amongst 'em! And I mean PLENTY!!! The place is liftin' with 'em! ;)

What's a good book to buy on Carnac Goff, any idea? And what are the most popular theories on the layout of the stones? Questions questions!!

I wouls ALWAYS recommend Aubrey Burl's (now quite difficult to come by!) "Megalithic Brittany" (ISBN 0-500-01364-0) which covers (as the name suggests) ALL of Brittany, with a large chunk of info about Carnac itself...

As for reasons? Meh! Your guess is as good as mine! :D

Loads of info throughout the web that I don't have time to look for now, but before our visit I was overwhelmed with information! Had to distil it into something more easily digested. :)
