This one is placed all ready for SWT to repair the wall of the car park. The damage was found one morning along with evidence of night time use of the space by occupants of cars. Also found were empty cans and bottles and wrappers and one or two signs of other activities. SWT's own staff (their 'Site Team') won't be expected to do this repair to the same level of competence as a designated stone-waller, but we hope to be surprised.
This broken wall appears to be the result of animals pushing it down. There is an assumption that this has been done by the deer, and tracks leading down the hill from this spot seem to confirm that. The wall was not in very good condition and doubtless farm animals such as cattle or horses could fairly easily have knocked it down as well. Reports that may or may not be true suggest that one or more local farmers are annoyed and are anti-deer. How serious the damage or interference caused by the deer is not known. Personally I'm sceptical about it being a real problem. Someone may well suggest that SWT would have done better installing a deer fence here rather than the costly barbed wire for cattle elsewhere!
