Maeshowe to ‘temporarily close’ due to health and safety concerns

That's utterly ludicrous, really beggars belief.

I was driving from Pont ar Elan to Rhayader this morning and had, as usual, to manoeuvre around sheep sat in the middle of the road... that is to say the sight of a ton or so of metal mass hurtling toward them had no impact upon their nervous systems. The crows, on the other hand, stepped neatly out of the way.... feeding upon sheep's carcass. Naturally.

So, are we to assume the average tourist to Maes Howe is as intelligent as a sheep, but less so than a crow? What happened to responsibility for one's own actions? Or are the authorities playing a political game here? To cite an obvious example, are visitors to The Nine Stones of Winterbourne Abbas less important than those to Maes Howe?
