So then, nationally important or not? Are the pits on Ladybridge Farm worthy of preservation in situ?

ooo er......

It all depends on your interpretation and your motive for same. English Heritage say they are nationally important as part of the Thornborough landscape. As they are the guardians of our heritage who am I to argue with that.

I think you have has much right to your own opinion on the matter as everyone else E and you are perfectly entitled to express it here if you wish. Remember that EH also said that the double pit alignment (SAM)was nationally important but allowed that to be dug up by Newcastle University... Are you suggesting that everything in the Thornborough landscape is nationally important and should be preserved? On what criteria? Is being part of the landscape justification in itself? If so how is it defined? WHere are its edges...
