Whether the wind turbines affects them I don't know, why does the farmer want two any way?


It might be suggested that he gets paid for supplying energy into the National Grid... (choses words carefully). May just be to supply power for the farm though.

it looks like neolithic, bronze and iron age barrows all very near to each other - weird...


Not weird in East Yorks though, there is a real continuation of land use plus so much has survived either as crop marks or documented evidence. To take Rudston as a well known example there are long barrows, a henge, cursuses, round barrows, square barrows, boundaries and field systems, and that bloody great big stone all within a few of miles of each other (and a Roman villa too).
