all in all a fair and unbiased report.. the main meat is the statement of significance, the threat to archaeology from ploughing (which can't be ignored) and access. Tourism can be seen as a significant activity if conducted properly.
Another day another WSI?

Try reading Dr Jan Hardings objection letter where he says that further ploughing, unless deliberately ploughed deeper, should cause little further damage.
When you know the character of the landowners involved with Thornborough things aren't always what they seem. I dread to think what one particular landowner is dreaming up - Thornborough Disney Theme Park perhaps!!! He's already turned a Roman Villa site into a theme park.
