Leave it be. Jesus didn't put lights on when he built it, and that's how it should stay.

Busy knitting muesli
there are many examples of this around the country suchas The Rollright Stones
But did the builders of even that get any satisfaction.

Imo once a ancient place is re-assembled be it a castle or a monument its age starts from the date of its re-construction,the raw materials might be ancient but its construction is not.8-|

No, it's not.

One or two were re-erected and a couple more straightened up in the 20th century, but that's a long way from it being 'largely rebuilt in the Victorian age', as Mikey was claiming.

Some of those stones were moved and concreted in, but whatever.

Come on big fella, not like you not to have an opinion, like. Don't forget, these stones are the quintessential image of the heritage of these isles, this great nation, Our Britain. *waves union flag*

Nay.. in this energy-saving obsessed world, why waste precious energy on lighting up some rocks?
