| It would seem from the responses and information snippets that the time for direct action has, perhaps, long since passed. From what Jane says the cross has been there a good few years. This doesn't stop some awkward questions being posed to the county archaeologist over the proximity of the cross to the barrow and the permitting of the location of the star *on* the barrow. If planning permission was needed, sought and granted (as well as ancient monument consent) then the organisation that applied (presumably linked to the local parish church or some such) should be asked to explain its reasoning for the cross and star particularly in relation to a sensitive heritage asset. I am not a pagan but it does annoy me too when one faith attempts to assert some kind of cleansing/authority over another faith's site (remember the problems at Mayburgh?!) - maybe a suggestion could be made to paganise a church site in Dorset (one with a known prehistoric origin) and see what the response is from the parish. Could be a laugh! Cheers G Reply | with quote | Posted by Grendel 3rd May 2003ce 19:21 In reply to: Cross erected on barrow...possible witnesses? (Cursuswalker) |
