Iam interested in what you are saying but am slightly worried where ths is going. I appreciate that the application has been refused on the basis that the remains will preserved in situ - the issue on which Timewatch EH, CBA and NYCC campaigned on. Whether current land use is a material factor in these matters is another issue and one which I am sure will continue to be debated. But the fact remains (outside any planning application) that you have stated that the archaeology on Ladybridge Farm is nationally important and worthy of preservation. The threat of quarrying has now gone for the time-being but the continuing destruction from ploughing has not.
This is a fact.

As a campaign group who has recognised and campaigned to preserve this stuff what are you now going to do to properly preserve it before it is ulimately gone without record?

The question isn't so much what the campaign group is going to do but what everyone is going to do.
