A beautiful circle...but possibly my most depressing visit to a stone circle ever. The place was heaving, no problem with that, but so much disrepect--kids teetering on top of the largest stone, adults (who should have known better) posing for hundreds of ridiculous similar pics on other stones, a guy (again, old enough to know better) jumping from stone to stone. Not only disrepectful and possibly damaging behaviour but they didn't give a fig for anyone else visiting or trying to take photographs, either. It got so bad we finally did say something to one of the people, and although he muttered darkly at us, he did get off...and then went off digging through stuff chucked up from mole holes. The woman whose kid was flailing about on top of the stones like a fish, went into the centre at the end and stood there, arms out, 'feeling the vibes.' Hmmm,don't think they would be very great after that show!
Besides the visitors jumping all over them, there were very deep muddy trampled areas at their bases, the mud being soft and deep enough to go up past your ankles.
The sign there says nothing about 'please respect the monument, do not climb etc etc' which I think is an oversight. It may not stop the most uncaring but it just might stop those who do what they do in a non-malicious, just thoughtless, manner,and of course it gives you something to point to if you challenge anyone about their behaviour.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
