Can't flame you for widening your ring, if that's the way you want to go, can we?

It's an odd one, but empty fields are needed to complete the big picture. I can't remember who said that about empty fields.

I think our point was that the site was welcome as a misc note, so that people know a stone stood here or that this church is built on the site of a stone circle, we just don't want pictures of the fecking church! And I'm sure you don't want to be cluttered up with images of spires and bell towers either.

Ignore me if you want to, but I recommend you try and state the intention of your new catagories (if they include "Church Plonked On Old Oak Grove" and similar) otherwise you'll end up with a load of kak that will greatly devalue the other stuff on your site. And that would be a shame, as despite our differences it is a great resource.

Phnar Phnar,
I get your point, I didn't mean ALL churches but some of them are really amazing!
I'm suprised that the Druids don't go them more often, they alwys bang on about sacred groves.
I could take you to a Yew tree in a church yard that we could get 60 people under the bows that grow into the earth.
Now thats a grove and something I think is well worth documenting as ancient! Some of the yews I know of are over 2,000 years old so they are the nearest living thing we have to the past.
The Church just robbed these sites from the pagans who in turn robbed them from our remote ancestors.
Ironicaly if we were allowed to excavte church graveyards we would probably learn more about our ancestors than a lot of designated Neolithic sites that we now plunder freely.
