Re: insecurity

Perhaps we should blanket some of these areas with original forest, so that just the ridges and hills and rivers are still in vision, then then look again. With so many fewer candidate sites for defence, security, trackways, alignment, reverence, worship, burial, beacons and yes, a damn fine view, then duplicate use over the centuries seems pretty likely.

I like forest musing. After all, with the forest gone the clearing is still there, staring us in the face, whilst we're scratching our heads over some archaeology and asking "why here?"
