That is very sad, for the countryside as well as the stone. Perhaps CADW could put a soundproof dome over the stone with the previous view on the inside. And with a hole in the top to watch the sun and the rain through. What else can you do. I'm not being flippant. I'd just like to protect it and the 'delight' that it engenders in visitors, according to one of the fieldnotes. At least the stone is protected as it is scheduled. In the past it would have been carried off without a thought. Crap. The bastards will probably call the development something cheesy and unwittingly ironic that relates to the stone as well. Like the idiotically titled 'solstice' development near stonehenge. Sigh.

Hi Rhiannon

I've lobbed a couple of my pictures of the development online

Yes. it is sad, but inevitable I guess. Trefignath's only detraction was the aluminium works. Then the A55 right next to it. I think this will bring contemporary life inescapably to its setting. No more sheep crap encrusted boots on visiting Ty Mawr either.

Peace,

Tim.
