Cornish Iron Age hill fort faces destruction!

Help is urgently needed at Higher Penance Farm, St Stephens Rd, St Austell, Cornwall. Activists have occupied the farm in order to protect an Iron Age hill fort and the farm which will be buried in waste from Imerys (china clay manufacturers). Activists face eviction from the farm today (25/08). Please come aand be merry by the beach as well as doing your bit to save the planet, innit. Bring tools, food, tarps etc. Call this number for more info: 07832101450.

Hill fort should be easy to defend!

Does anyone have another contact for info? The number in the article is not recognised, and I`m keen to get in touch. Friends of mine were squatting the farmhouse on this site last year, and last I knew I turned up to find windows broken and eviction notices on the door; nobody there. I`d like to catch up with them and also find out the current situation. This is a beautiful site of great historic value; the hill fort was being excavated by archaeologists last time I visited. Would love to visit again and help defend the fort. Good luck, hopefully see you soon,
Pete Wentland.
