Apologies for lack of posts recently, time has been spent expanding this article just recently published on the Helion and Co. blog. In particular, I think it highlights the plight and nature battlefield preservation follows everyday. While we can argue that changes to the landscape are negligible, not touching the contemporary landscapes, the altering of the modern and even future landscape upon which a fixed in time interpretation of a battlefield site has the ability to completely change the politics of immersion, experience, interpretation and meaning on a battle site. Removing any sense of memoriality by supplanting a modern cosmopolitan bustle, as has been experienced on battlefields such as Langside, Barnet and Newbury etc., while not directly harming the physical remains, metaphysically alters and destroys any sense of psychological understanding of the site. More on the subject anon. For now, enjoy the following article.
