For what it's worth my beef was the same as yours, that the circle had been allowed to virtually vanish into the peat and be covered by a type of creeping gorse mixed in with the turf. Not a single stone now stands and you can search for the circle for hours! My approach to them, rightly or wrongly, was that they were responsible for the upkeep of all the scheduled monuments in their care and that they should all be treated equally instead of just the iconic sites taking precedent. If they can't do that then let others who can. I have offered to take it upon myself to totally clean up the circle by clearing all the growth off the stones and re-exposing those stones now lying buried immediately under the turf and to remove the huge gorse bush growing in the middle of it, but NOT to dig beneath the top level of the stones or move them in any way. She told me they would be foolish not to take me up on the offer because it was very unlikey to be carried out by them as it wasn't a priority to them and the usual...no money! I think it important to come over as a sensible, caring and responsible type of person whose only interest is to put something back into a hobby that has given you years of pleasure and who wishes to see our heritage still there for many many years to come. I'm sure you are one such person. Reply | with quote | Posted by Sanctuary 13th February 2013ce 18:16 In reply to: Re: Appeal for advice (Paulson) |
