You are right in terms of interpretation - It's an issue that I'm surprised is not very high on the agenda for change.
Interpretation of course is also the issue at Ladybridge, something which is playing out right now. I'd suggest that without public pressure, the common interpretation would apply - nothing that is not scheduled is worth saving.
As I indicated, Thornborough is just one example where I think nationally important archaeology is being lost without reference to higher authorities. I'm absolutely certain its not the only one. Hopefully we will not have to go through the pain of another Thornborough to prove the situation is widespread. But if I have to, then so be it (warning shots already fired in DPM's direction).
