A fine example showing how archaeological earthworks are progressively obliterated from the landscape surface by agricultural ploughing. Clockwise from top right we have well-preserved (in woodland), partly ploughed out, then totally erased. Gaer Hill, near St. Arvans, S. Wales

Heartbreaking! There's a bronze age burial mound close to my house which is now completely flat and only visible in a crop mark. I dearly wish there was something to still point out to my kids.

Why are they plowing the field? Is it to grow food for human consumption ? Regardless, right or wrong one must think of the reasons behind “Why plow the fields”? Can you work in these areas between seasons to save what you can save? It is terrible to see beauty destroyed.

That’s not ploughing it’s deliberate tree planting to hide the history of wales… which is not Roman btw… they built houses on top of really significant places. Follow the work of Alan Wilson or
