I was doing a survey o'er here in Canada for a pipeline right-of-way that was going through a field of native prairie and identifed several stone circles (teepee rings) within the right-of-way. I told the landowner (b/c I had to, not b/c I wanted to) and the next week when I went out to excavate them the entire right-of-way, and not a centimetre outside of it, had been ploughed. Bye bye stone circles.
Also had an incident where the landowner had plucked the stones out of the ground, leaving nineteen rock-shaped holes making a circle. Apparently that makes stone circles go away. I was still able to excavate and record the feature. Infuriated the farmer.
