This overly-complex and rather sloppy design next to the West
Kennett Longbarrow underwent a slight change between when the
first pictures were posted of it on April 19th, and when I took
mine, three days later. In my shot there you can see a couple
of small circles at the 10:30 position, which were originally
mirrored by two more at the 4:30 position, but someone flattened
the crop there, ruining what symmetry there was. I suspect a
“Killroy Was Here” tourist gleefully leaving his mark to see in
subsequent photographs.
I thought about restoring the details with PhotoShop, which
would have been easy, but I decided it was more interesting to
document the stupid prank. Besides, there were many bothersome
irregularities in the construction, so it’s not like a great
work of art was begging for restoration! I have left everything
as it was (only removing a small walk line).
