Some perspective on the scale of heritage knowledge loss

At Dinas Dinlle hillfort near Caernarvon, land which might contain heritage knowledge is being lost to the sea at the rate of 20 sq ft a week.

In the rest of Britain, land which might contain heritage knowledge is being dug up by non-reporting metal detectorists at a rate of 500,000 sq ft a week.
