Stone Circle

[tommmy]

Would it be possible to protect the Stone Circle for future generations?

You can nominate sites for heritage protection and wonder if this should be done.

Most people will be familiar with listed buildings but the types of structure that can qualify for listing can be surprising: from the traditional terrace house to lighthouses and Cold War bunkers to street furniture.

Don't they have to be a certain age to have this status bestowed on them?

[ivan]

It would be the only Heritage Site covered in Nitros chargers !!!

[LondonTom]

Won't they then rope it off, and no one will be allowed to gather around it?

[jameshunt]

Should have got Brian listed.

Might such sites also have to be open to the public?

[strummer77]

Wouldn't that be an awful idea? None of us would be let in to smoke would we!

Domestic dwellings are, but I think they still have to open to the public for a few days a year

Surely if anything was iconic and worthy (no pun intended) of protection it would be the Pyramid.

As long as it didn't interfere with it functioning in it's primary functions like.

nah ... now the old cow-barn pyramid, that was worth preserving. Shame the bloody thing burnt down.

I'm pretty sure most of the non glastonbury attending population couldn't care less about some stones dug into the ground 20 years ago!

Who cares about your house, it still got listed.

The Stone Circle is shaped to mirror the Cygnus star constellation - the swan. The stone at the tip represents the head of the swan - the bright star Albireo, which is a jewel of a double star.

Under each stone are significant items that represent the direction of which each faces. There are crystals from Stonehenge, water from the Ganges, stone from the Pyramids, healing herb and many, many other items of mystical and religious significance. While only completed in 1990 the Stone Circle feels as though it’s been there forever.
