ROMAN CIST BURIALS IN GORSLEY WOOD, NATIONAL MONUMENT NO 1281]
Dear Mr Neame,

Thank you very much for accompanying Mr Peter Kendall and
myself on our site visit the other week.

On reflection, we feel that the present tree cover is unlikely
to damage the site further and indeed disuouiages the
encroachment of undergrowth whic,-.h has grown up in the
surrounding coppiced area. The tiees serve as a maikor fur a
site which is otherwise difficult to locate and we an not feel
lghal; 1'_ii woul<_l be beneficial to coppicge them.

If I can help further please do not. hesitate ln (-.mxi'a<rl me.

Yours sincerely
