Signed, and not amazed.
If these monuments are simply comprehended as old burial sites, and nothing more, then I am afraid that the vast majority of people couldn't care less, they hardly care about current grave stones etc.
And without an actual knowledge of the sites origonal design criteria, how can they be restored?
Patched up, yes.
