It seems to me there is ample scope for abstract studies into "post" fieldwork consequences, rather than waiting to be proactive about a second look at a PPG site - though I accept that firstly finding the funding/arranging the study would be a rather 'interesting' course of action, and the value of the 'second look' shouldn't be under-rated.
I agree - but covering the funding is the big problem as you say. Working within the system we have, the "second look" seems to be the only way. Waterlogged sites can be effectively and fairly cheaply monitored via augering (if you can get to them...), although quite what you'd do with a site that had a piled foundation building on it, that suddenly started deteriorating and was about to be lost, is another question entirely!
