Spare the tree, spoil the fort

Conservation work is to be carried out on an Iron Age hillfort in North Somerset to save an ancient monument.

The site at Weston Woods near Weston-super-Mare is being destroyed by trees planted on the hillside in the early 19th Century. . .

The Forestry Commission has given North Somerset Council permission to fell the trees, which will take two months.
