Its no more offensive than saying Keep off the Grass at Warwick Castle, which people do in their millions.

I'm not saying lock up all sites, or any. Avebury is open and works OK. Stonehenge is partly open and works OK. Im merely saying maybe Silbury could be made a site in which respect for prehistoric sites is given substance. Its hardly an offensive suggestion considering its a concrete proposal for improving public attitudes towards thousands of prehistoric sites.

Other than words, where else are efforts being made to improve public attitudes towards thousands of prehistoric sites?

I didn't even say stop people visiting. Just visit by prior appointment in a structured fashion. The proposal isnt primarily about Silbury its about establishing an example of respect for monuments and notices but if youre going to insist on a right of instant access for all despite the notices then obviously the suggestion will fail. But why? You dont get that at Stonehenge, and you CAN go there by prior appointment and visit in a structured way. What exactly are you saying the idea would deprive people of? The right to jump the fence without permission?
