But don't forget the attempt a few years ago at 'burning off' that got out of control, and burnt a lot of the stones at Tregeseal. The lichen was irretrievably damaged on that occasion.

So yes, fire is a tool, but one that must be used carefully and sparingly.


Yes, you're quite right. Control is the key.

As another positive burning example, last year a part of Chypraze Cliff (near Morvah) was also burned off, revealing the excellent kerbed round barrow for the first time for decades.
