Abstract: |
A scheme aimed at encouraging local people to get involved in the management and care of archaeological sites on the Lizard was established by Historic Environment, Cornwall Council, in 2009. Set up initially with funding from the 'Conserving Cornwall's Past' project, the scheme has proved very successful and is now self-maintaining. The principal aims of the project were to set up a programme of site clearance work, to establish a network of people to adopt and monitor individual monuments, and to achieve this through liaison with existing groups and organisations on the Lizard. The sites for clearance were selected initially on the basis of recommendations from the local English Heritage Historic Environment Field Advisor, and were all sites which had been assessed as being at high or medium risk of damage due to scrub or plant growth. Over the year, eight sites were tackled and improved management initiated, and in several cases, the risk significantly reduced. Fifteen sites have been 'adopted' by local people and regularly monitored in the course of the year. The group now has a name (Lizard Ancient Sites Protection Network or LAN) and logo and is affiliated to the Cornwall Ancient Sites Protection Network (CASPN). |
