Abstract
In the aftermath of the aerial archaeology flight, the big disappointment was the truncation of the stones, making the circle much less spectacular overall (compare Figs. 10.1 and 10.2). Before the cement dried, vandals also managed to scrape up some of it and smear it on the midsummer sunrise stone, where it remains to this day (Fig. 10.2a, background).
