Greetings Invisible-Hope you`re well! Of course I do accept what you`re saying however... We are still resigned to destroying a unique landscape. Also, "much valuable data" will I presume,be recovered by a commercial unit under the usual conditions.Great. The north has been on the arse end of London-based Governments for years and has seen minimal investment. The Thornborough landscape should be preserved as a unique asset for the tourism of the north and, be allowed to retain it`s "meaning".Gutting sites and backfilling them with landfill or creating duck-**** filled lakes does`nt pull the whool over my eyes. Of course-gravel can`t be found anywhere else on the planet can it? In short, such a landscape deserves preservation from the ravages of arrogant developers, muppet-driven commercial archaeology and of course, sexually handicapped curators who feel they can make huge decisions armed with tiny amounts of grey matter.
