ncreasing rate of destruction of the
ruin, and of its great interest as a tangible record of the
prehistoric inhabitants of this country, no hesitation is felt in
recommending that the structure be further protected, and
practically perpetuated, by a suitable roof, so designed as to
shield the walls from rain and sun and at the same time permit an
unobstructed view of the ruin from any direction.
