Wind Farm to be placed at 'Ancient' Site
Jun 05, 2003, 21:15
As nicked from elsewhere, should possibly be in TMA, but I never go in there:

I have recently heard some news about a site which is sacred for some, and part of the Welsh Heritage is under threat due to proposed development - of Windfarms near Maesteg (South Wales)

Twmpath y Diwlith is traditionally associated with the Druids, and
Iolo Morgannwg. There are other historical sites in the vicinity,
many of them (such as old forts) have never been properly excavated so the proposal will destroy history before is it descovered.

Community Wind Power has plans to erect a number of wind turbines one of the 300-foot turbines will be placed within Four Feet of the site.
However, the company claims this placement will not affect the
site.
A 300 foot turbine needs a large foundation so this is unlikely.
CADW http://www.cadw.wales.gov.uk/ is opposing the plans.

There is a public enquiry on 1 July, but it is now too late for
those opposed to the plans to voice their concerns by letter or
email. Only the developer, the council and "interested parties"
(such as the Rambler's Association) may discuss the issue, with the former two being given three days and the latter, three hours. "


My opinion has to be, fuck the druids. bloody recently made up order anyway, i strongly doubt any claims they make as to any sites ancientness
