I have definitely spent MORE than enough time this week, pretending to be a human being.  MORE than enough.   The illusion is, frankly, wearing thin. 

I did a hedge survey course today.  2 injured out of 18 course attendees during a short walk along a muddy lane, 1 of them needing X-rays seems like some sort of record.   Clumsy sods these human beings. 

There was free food!  Including excellent carrot cake!   And I learned to identify hedge bedstraw, and how to tell a spindle tree when it's not fruiting.   I feel I learned less about landscape archaeology, as mostly that section was strong on  'stuff we can't be sure about'.  But that is a form of learning of a sort.

Sadly, it seems unlikely. It will all depend whether your local council flags up developments on these features as worthy of archaeological mitigation. I'm not that au fait with the archaeological planning regs in Englandshire (they're slightly different, though not alarmingly so), but I would guess that inserting new gates would be seen as permitted development: most agricultural things don't usually need planning permission.
