THE future of Herefordshire's newly-discovered archaeological gem, the "Rotherwas Ribbon", is still being mulled over by experts.
English Heritage Inspectors have visited the site of the "Rotherwas Ribbon" and issued the following statement: "A decision on scheduling will be taken in due course and will be informed by further analysis and interpretation of the site.
"The remains are very fragile, and while English Heritage agrees with Herefordshire Council that controlled public access should be afforded, we will ensure the local authority covers the remains to protect them from bad weather.
"In the long term, English Heritage considers that this is a significant find worthy of being fully recorded for future research and protected in-situ. Each part of the find is very fragile and by keeping the remains in their context they can help us understand how people used to live in this landscape setting. English Heritage will make sure the local authority has access to its expertise in this process."
