Fun times ahead if this happens, but as we locals know theyve been on about it for years!

Wouldn't it be funny if someone stole huge earth mover from local quarry and rolled over those stones one night in front of the two man security team and got clean away on a motorbike.

I told some american tourists once that the stones were in fact fibreglass and that was why they were fenced off. she replied that they were thousands of years old, i said they were 30 years old and it was the idea of the farmer up the road, hes loaded now!!!! :angel:they were not chuffed! :evil:

lol, it could be true.

It's not 30 years!!!
1901 the stones were straightened up and set in concrete.
During the 1920's there was renovations which included moving 6 of the stones and re-erecting others,
1958 cranes were brought in to reposition some fallen cross stones,
and in 1964 4 more stones were re-positioned.
Here's an an ariel view from 1906 and present day from the BBC
