Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The burial chamber of Pentre Ifan is not only of the greatest historical importance but its remains have powerful sculptural and aesthetic qualities; it was the first ancient monument in Wales to come into State care. This article sets out to show what changes this brought to the understanding of the history of the monument and the impact on its surroundings. Through extracts from the Ministry of Works files, it is shown how successive Inspectors of Ancient Monuments from Pitt-Rivers onwards, in concert with the site's excavator, the late Professor W F Grimes, sought to balance the difficult decisions over restoration and conservation, access or preservation, and aesthetics or practicalities. The issues raised by the Pentre Ifan site are considered with regard to other ancient monuments which are opened to the public. | |||
