Nah, they are horrible conversationalists. And they never want to do anything but sit around. Until one day, they are all like, “hey, let’s raise some hell and do a landslide!” No thanks!

Geez....I suppose the writer meant that the stones are thought to have been shaped & emplaced by humans perhaps 4,000 years ago, but coherence in writing is a dying art.

Note that I could say the Grand Canyon is over 4000 years old -- the statement would be true, but seen as oddly understated. It would probably get someone branded as a Young Earth Creationist, even though "over 4000" could also include "200 million years old".
Once upon a time, professional writers knew how to write. Today, they just know how to play along with the correct agenda (which isn't required in every story, but it is the skill which is valued in their career, over and above being a good writer).

“The circle was discovered in a meadow at Wilton, near Egremont by landowners Philip and Lyndsey Johnson. And according to Dr Terence Meaden, a research archaeologist from Oxford University, the stones could be over 4,000 years old. “
There are stones in my yard that are over a billion years old!
So, if some clown makes a ring of stones for no reason at all and they are discovered 200 years later, can the govt confiscate the property now?

I wouldn’t tell that stuff about your ex. After all you asked her to marry you.
