Ancient standing stone in forest, photo added

Pete,
I don’t have anything to add on the already well made comments, but on a different issue I think you should forward this image to your local county council/heritage group. This is a prime example of a wreckless plantation by Coillte or whoever, where little consideration was given to what may well be a bronze age site (4,000 – 2,500 BC). Very close to where I live a stone circle was damaged by Coillte when planting 30 years ago, the trees in your photo would seem a similar age which means that they are ready for harvesting. They should have a method statement prepared and agreed by local authorities on the safest way of removing these trees and protecting these archaelogical sites.
Your well captured image should grab their immediate attention,

MikeI was only thinking the very same myself!
How could they hope to remove the trees without doing damage to the stone & even
if they did the landscape would look like a building site.Brainless!!
they should never have been allowed to plant there in the first place, the roots will have destroyed quite a lot already….
