The position of English heritage astounds me. Rather than put a block on the development until proof is secure about the site, they are happy to allow the development to go ahead without prior archaeological investigation to see if Germany Beck is indeed the likely place of the Battle of Fulford. If it is an important battlefield, the land and artefacts are lost for good, then the so called
'guardians' of our heitage will be seen to be politically biased and ineffective as the proper organisation to handle our heritage.
The fact that both EH and Persimmon Homes stand by an outdated decision and will not allow any deviation on that, smacks to me of collusion and indifference, and the fact that York Council have allowed this to go on over such an important bloodstained site again will be be judged by our children's children as a severe laspe of historical judgement.
