Controversy over the site
[edit]Why was this text removed ? - please discuss before removing further text.
In 1999 there was some controversy regarding this site and others under the care of the English Heritage organisation. The Cornish Stannary Parliament wrote to English Heritage asking them to remove all signs bearing their name from Cornish sites by July 1999 as they regard the ancient sites as Cornish heritage, not English. Over eleven months eighteen signs were removed by members of the Cornish Stannary and a letter was sent to English Heritage saying "The signs have been confiscated and held as evidence of English cultural aggression in Cornwall. Such racially motivated signs are deeply offensive and cause distress to many Cornish people". (see external BBC link). *Cornish Stannary Parliament tackles cultural aggression in Cornwall *BBC news - Historic signs case trio bound over

The tale
[edit]The tale under History is taken word for word from the English Heritage site. An alternative version is given on the Cornish Heritage site (which is slightly more informative altogether). --Martin Wyatt (talk) 16:04, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
