Denbigh Moors Bronze Age burial mound damaged by vehicle

Colin and Anne Darlington from Llandudno Junction passed the burial mound as they walked the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way.

Colin said: “If people are into this sort off-road driving they’re going to see that and say ‘oh there’s a nice little bump to go up’.

“It’s standing there waiting for it to some extent, isn’t it? And they just don’t realise what it is.”

Anne said: “Perhaps if there was a sign there advertising it as an archaeological site maybe it wouldn’t keep everybody off, but it might keep a few off.”

Rambler Nancy Thirsk from Dyserth, Denbighshire, said: “Most people wouldn’t recognise that as a burial site at all, would they?

“So unless there’s better signage, then it’s not really fair to criticise whoever’s done that.”

Allen said his main aim was to educate people in the area about the historical importance of these ancient sites and the need to preserve them.

He said “If you’re going to go out and about and enjoy north Wales’ great scenery, have a quick check of Cadw’s website in case there’s anything you need to be aware of.”
