If you don't know Bodmin moor and its history, have a look at 400 Million Years In The Making Rough Tor is set to rise and rise up the list of sites of major archaeological importance. Only now are insights into the ritual use of its ceremonial monuments finally emerging. Its ramparts have recently been provisionally dated to approximately 3,700 B.C., far earlier than Stonehenge and Avebury and one thousand five hundred years before the pyramids Did you know that there are processional routes to its peak and to Showery Tor?
Also Rough Tor and Little Rough Tor cairns are aligned along the mid-winter sunset
Expect thousands of visitors to what could become a world heritage site – unless, of course, it is ruined
The world would have protested against a wind farm at the
Giza pyramid
The local council’s decision to permit a host of new generation giant size wind turbines on the former Davidstow airport will so dwarf stone age monuments that their significance will be obliterated. Never again will future generations experience the wild isolation and rugged beauty of Rough Tor’s archaeology. Their insights into the Neolithic will be dominated by energy generators which will rise higher than Rough Tor itself
English Heritage have said that views to and from this historic landscape should be conserved. Our quest to imaginatively recreate Neolithic experience will be irrevocably harmed by the proposed wind farm unless, of course, it is saved by protesting against it. |
