Just thought I'd better add that I don't think HA can afford to ignore threatened sites coz someone else is protesting in a way that doesn't necessarily fit in with our approach - if we feel we don't want to be too closely associated with them, we just have to try to keep our distance.

PS We'd better take this to the HA board if we wanna discuss it any further....

The way that I see the Stanton Moor situation is: Nine Ladies stone circle is not under threat. It is the nearby landscape which is about to be destroyed.

The whole of Stanton Moor is a 'ritual' landscape, with it's 4 stone circles, about 70 cairns and a few natural rock features. Although Nine Ladies is not about to be destroyed, presumably, some of these other features are (but I don't know if this is the case).

In my view, if we are to become involved, then we should address the issue of the whole 'ritual' landscape, rather than concentrating just on the situation of Nine Ladies.
