Re: Afore ye go....

That axe is deeply significant on more levels than one.

Half a dozen have been found in the Thornborough landscape but all the others were found deposited in a small boggy area to the north that was presumably a ritual deposition site and which it seems has been saved from quarrying as a consequence.

This one was the only one found elsewhere, but where? The location, obviously, is crucial to both knowledge of the record and the fight to conserve what EH term "a world-heritage standard landscape" but the heroes have failed to let anyone know so it will never be known.

Hey, Kevmar, compare and contrast your mates' concern for anshunt axes with the attitude of conservationists, whose concern is more than self centred -
