Surely 'integrity' is the important word in all this. I get a much stronger feeling standing at the Sanctuary, imagining what it was like (to my mind the concrete posts aren't saying 'look at us' they're just an indication, to aid your thoughts) rather than a kind of pretence with modern stones. As mentioned earlier, that does feel a bit disney to me.
I don't like the idea at all.



I think I'd maybe have to agree that modern stones maybe don't "do it" but if they had the original stones then I'd definitely prefer them re-instated(didn't want to set the other half off with sayin re-erection!) than the concrete posts :)


Yes, i'd def be more inclined to see the originals! But, even then, not just at any cost either to the monument or our knowledge.
Our 'wanting to know' right now, in our lifetime, is not the important issue, in my opinion.

Shall we go put them back? {joking} "where's my wall gone?"- "back where they came from" came the reply.
