To my mind some ancient monuments are just ancient but not interesting. Vitrification of any kind appals me. Sorry. I'm squeamish that the vitrification may have been the cause of a dreadful anguish some time in the distant past. As I believe that the now and the then are directly plugged into each other, it causes me a problem. Even if you send me to a plain old hillfort, I won't be interested until I see former Neolithic remains within the defences which I can get a handle on because it suggests a gentler way of life than the presence of those foul Iron Age ditches. So vitrification? I shudder.
