Yes, I think Ladybridge should be scheduled - it is of national importance and it is under threat. I know that this will not stop the ploughing and I know it may well be closing the barn door after the horse has bolted but yes, if my understanding of EH's approach to scheduling is correct then this should happen, certainly for that area where the Neolithic settlement is known to extend.

Mmmm...scheduling in these circumstances will only lead to prehistoric features becoming an unstratified flint scatter. Where's the sense in that? Scheduling AND a binding agreement for the land to be set aside or left to pasture would be an option, but it ain't going to happen...
