I have noticed that English Heritage are also putting something on their information boards about prohibiting unauthorised metal detecting at sites they are responsible for. Its easy to forget about issues such as erosion which is a big problem at Avebury and on West Kennet Long Barrow as people always walk on the banks and to the end of the long barrow.


Walking all over the WKLB infuriates me yet it is tolerated it would seem. Place one foot on Silbury however and you're shot at dawn! Is there/should there be a difference? I feel not, although I have admitted in the past to climbing the hill twice when a lot younger, but I've never trampled over the barrow ever!
