An agenda item on the EH Advisory Committee minutes for January is "Proposed removal of Emmets Post Round Barrow". (Could be to do with the adjacent china clay workings).

I've not heard anything locally about this but will see what I can find out. http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/10428/emmets_post.html

I'm told this is about joining two pits, and the barrow is in the way. Minerals consent was already in place when scheduling happened and taking the former away would cost the taxpayer vast sums in compensation. Scheduling means it must be thoroughly recorded but nothing else.

It's a gonner. Move on .....
