Pah! You supporters of trees on barrows should keep in mind the destruction the root systems are doing to the interiors. More importantly, and as far as I'm aware, barrows weren't designed to have trees sprouting out of 'em, so the that's a double whammy in the desecration stakes.
What next - hanging baskets at Stonehenge? Clear the lot, that's wot I say (starting with East Kennet ;-)
Well until you excavate (which is equally as damaging) you don't know roots are causing damage LS, and I think East Kennet looks quite romantic with its tree garnishing ;) as for hanging baskets at Stonehenge thats a little over the top but more wild flowers around prehistoric sites would'nt come amiss for all those philistines that don't know their daffodils from their cowslips..... Actually is'nt one of the archaeologists clearing the trees from the barrows at Stonehenge..
