Good information, thorough and insightful. Really well put together. In my opinion, anonymity and difficulty of access do protect these sights. For structural, archaeological and spiritual reasons the less human interaction the better, as with other aspects of the landscape.
Blessed in this area , once away from the coast it's rural remote. I can wander all day and just see the odd hiker or two maybe an odd farmer, usually friendly and of course those white fluffy local residents! lol!
I disagree that public access should be given to these privately owned sights. They are still here because they are remote and have no public access. It's a testament to the land owners over thousands of years, that these sites are in the best hands. If you contact the owners, most likely they will allow access by appointment. They are not the best place to have a picnic, being on hills they are subject to stronger winds and colder weather.
"Should the public have a right to a simple, safe access to visit these monument's, for whatever reason?" Some may argue that there has been more damage inflicted on these monuments within the last 200 years by the plough and various land reform. But others still would argue that indeed, the remote and private stewardship, would have maintained the historical integrity of these monuments. What are your thoughts? Let us know your opinion on this below in the comments. We are calling for a debate here, thanks valproton3841 for your valuable input.
I never realised just how many hillforts there are in west Wales! The area appears to be even more populated in the past than it is now. Do you think some of these fort were built on earlier foundations?
