| Yes, it is a scheduled monument NATIONAL MONUMENT NO: 28188 However it seems that EH are aware of the activity there- 'Churn Knob is traditionally believed to have been the site of a sermon by St Birinus, first Bishop of Dorchester-on-Thames, in the 7th century and is still the focus of an annual pilgramage and service.' ....... 'In addition, the barrow has been the focus of an annual pilgramage due to its association with St Birinus and this provides evidence of how such monuments remained prominent focal places for later generations.' 'Excluded from the scheduling are the two modern concrete post bases, although the ground beneath is included.' Probably not much that can be done about it I'm afraid.... -Chris Reply | with quote |  3rd May 2003ce 11:46 In reply to: Re: one big happy family (elderford) |
