In the case of rock art they just don't notice it unless it is obvious and if it is under turf then they shouldn't be expeceted to deal with that .


The thing is, most stones seem like nothing to most people. My family (for example) can appreciate photos of Stonehenge or Avebury, but when I show them Mitchells Fold or Doll Tor they think I'm a bit mad, "Some tiny stones? I've got some of them in the garden if you wanna take some photos!"

Rock art is just as hard. We have all spent at least one day on a hillside with a map wondering round in circles saying "where the bloody hell is it?!" so even the more experienced of us know that its hard to account for everything!

Besides, I like wind farms. I think they look amazing and are necessary.
