What a sad sight. thelonious Posted by thelonious

Messy creatures, reading Carl's notes, and you realise the rubbish will stay there forever, unless of course you get the Forestry Commission people to take a few black bags up there and clear the stuff.. moss Posted by moss

Yep, it is very sad. I took a bin bag with me, but once I noticed the hypodermic I backed away. thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat

God what a disgrace. A classic case of neglect leading to more neglect. If cadw, the forestry comission or even a group of local volunteers cleared it completely and kept on top of it for maybe a year, it might be clear long term. The bullring up my way used to be a rubbish tip/car dumping ground, but community engagement and an effort to clear it asap when rubbish happened meant its very pleasant now. juamei Posted by juamei

It would be nice to think it could be reclaimed like that, its a great cairn at the start/end of a horseshoe ridge with much prehistoric interest. Now I've posted the pics I will contact various people to see if anyone wants to do anything. thesweetcheat Posted by thesweetcheat
