Cows can't help being itchy, surely it wasn't beyond the whit of whoever let them be put there to predict they'd use the stones to scratch against? Have people not heard of fences in Cornwall? I admit it's not very aesthetically appealing to have a barbed wire ring round the stones, but otherwise cattle will do what they do. Or is that too much like stating the bleedin obvious. It's reminiscent of Priddy as an example of the landowner just not giving a rats arse. I know we live in a little bubble here of caring about something that barely impinges on the rest of the country's consciousness, but you would think that if something was on your land, you might actually care about where you lived, and not want it ruined. Clearly not.

If EH show both these examples up (and actually communicate the consequences to other people with sites on their land) then that would be a Good Thing though.
