As we all know many sites are becomming overgrown and neglected and it seems nothing is being done, well now there's at least some first steps in helping to get things back in shape:

Many of the farmers I meet are quite curious as to what exactly the site is on their lands, now for some counties at least I can give them somewhere to go to find out more and get practical advice on keeping things in order.

Good stuff. Not one for Dublin I notice! At a time when Roadstone Ireland want to expand the quarry next to Lugmore and destroy a very good 'ritual landscape' on the capital's doorstep one would be very useful.

Meet a farmer in Kent and the chances are he won't have worn a pair of wellies in 10 years.
In fact the chances are he hasn't seen half the land he owns or rents out, let alone care what's on it or not!
