But - my concerns are that the work is being carried out with spectacular lack of sensitivity. The pictures taken by Credashill show some of the damage done by use of heavy equipment on the site, with areas of the fort churned up and rutted with tyre-tracks. Secondly, the area of clearance seems to have gone way outside the bounds of what had been planned, and many of the trees that have been felled were nowhere near the ramparts. While I'm reluctantly prepared to accept that the long-term future of the hillfort may be best served by not having trees on it, I'm alarmed that "conservation" involves chuntering over the site in a big tractor and lighting fires.
