This is hopefully to preserve valuable information about such sites so that an accurate yet accessible picture of these places can be left behind for future generations to engage with and learn from. Many sites are at risk of destruction or alteration which prevents furthering the understanding of our ancestors and their cultures. Therefore it is important we protect these sights, or preserve as much information about them as possible where that is not possible. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Credits: Presented by Dr. Christopher Dickson Director, Camera Operator and Editor William Rees-Crockford Producer and Boom Operator Frank Rees-Crockford Consultant Professor George Nash - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please always ask the landowner’s permission before visiting a site. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - With thanks to: The Warden of Parc-Le-Breos Nga Dickson Partners and Friends
