Apologies my computer is playing up at the moment and refuses to do certain things! I think it needs 'restoring' to an earlier time......

Moss, it might be worth bringing this up with the Ramblers Association so they can post something on their website. I'd like to think walkers act responsibly when in a walking environment particularly around ancient sites.
Locally, it is also an issue on Windmill Hill where the barrows are becoming eroded by people walking on them. (Also WKLB of course)

I can see that mountain biking could do a lot of damage and should be discouraged in whatever way that works - initially by educating bikers about the heritage aspect of the sites.
