I will agree ive witnessed myself the mess and litter some folk have left but believe these folk have no respect for themselves never mind their surroundings
BTW are you referring to Gibb hill as the large urn field close to the nine ladies

I will not make out ime some expert on stone circles but am led to believe that even these so called experts have not come to any real conclusions why the ancient tribes / clans built the monuments ..ancestor worship sounds as good as any..As for fucking up the circles don, t you think the early christians and landowners owe more to there destruction than a few camp fires ie Arbour low/ nine stones close the farmer has one of the stones built into his dry stone wall there .

Yes i suppose the ancient people had electric fires and blankets when building and celebrating around this area ...just saying...
