Cheers for that info

So basically its the usual brush off letter

The damage on Saturday was at least 1ft deep over the whole site thus going down into archealogical strata and as this site has never fully been investigated i fear will be lost due to the farmer's arrogance

I wonder if this farmer is related to Thomas Bateman as he seem's intent on total destruction of the site via his grazing rights

Its a joke really as if it was a show site this would never be allowed to happen elsewhere

I can't find the post i made at the time but basically i wrote stating that i fear irreparable damage was being done to the undated 'cursus" feature.

Yes, it was a "brush off," needless to say i didn't try to take the matter further.
I ask myself, why would they care, it's a post they'll have for a couple of years to advance their career, i have no faith they really care about the site.
Over the years i've visited Arbor lowe numerous times, it's obvious to me damage is being done but nothing will be done about it, i can't take up residence on the site or at the entrance to their ivory tower, i wish i could though as i truly believe direct protest is the only thing they will listen to.
Maybe we should hire a spreader and cover their office in shite.
