Background
Known locally as Seven Sisters, two trees have fallen, either due to age/disease/wind, the site is of local importance and needs to be maintained with its 7 trees, so it lives up to its name, they have been there for as long as anyone can remember, Historic England, say as its a historic monument, any new planting would damage whats below ground, it has had numerous archaeological digs, so much of what is there has been recorded and or removed. We as locals want to see this local site, which can be seen for miles around, saved and look like it has, for generations to come
