I would also pose the question do we have a right to demand to see every prehistoric monument - just because it happens to be there?


My instinctive answer is "yes". This is our heritage, etc, it doesn't really "belong" to anyone, each landowner should view their tenure as a that of a privileged guardian. I'm not sure about "demand" - maybe ask nicely? :-)

Perhaps the answer might be "no" where there are good reasons of preservation or perhaps privacy (if the site is in someone's garden, for example), that might be compromised by allowing access. But how often would that be?

If people don't go to see the non-state maintained sites, the obscure sites, the unprotected ones off the beaten track, they will disappear.
