Seriously it looks like an exciting unique site is to be buried surreptitiously without any notice of its relationship within a settled prehistoric landscape.

Well I wouldn't like to cast such nasturtiums in EH's direction as I presume they have a rational line of reasoning for their decision, right or wrong, but I do think the fact local people in Hereford including the Green Party councillors and the campaigners against the road have only just found out about the monument is rum, to say the least.

Anyway, the good thing is that the campaigners there seem to be very strong and very on the ball so this isn't going to be a case of a few HA and TMA grumbles in the midst of apathy and silence elsewhere. What happens next is going to be fascinating - especially as work on covering the monument is scheduled for "early in July"!!
