Yes indeed - I was thinking more of Avebury in my post than Newgrange. I guess there are probably plenty of other examples of over-imaginative restoration of sites? When I visited Knossos on Crete, the reconstructions were very impressive but the consensus nowadays seems to be that they aren't very accurate.

Hello Giles , I have no problem with "sensaitive restoration" , it's not too 
difficult to find socket holes and match them up with fallen stones , 
Tomnaverie is a good example but Newgrange is quite different.
