That's a great question.

For me, it is to keep the plan adaptive, or changing as the context changes (maybe imperceptible change?) hence the plan is the start and finish of the loop (if that exists)
I am always noticing little things that come from monitoring that aren't ideal, so I can refer back to my notebook and plan, then adapt the plan to address and implement change to hopefully mean a better future result.

If those two steps were combined, then it becomes a monitored system, and loses some of the ability to respond to complexity, and change.

St Agnes, the dyke runs from Chapel port to Trevaunce cove so enclosing the headland. Very few bits of the dyke remain , mainly destroyed by mining & more recently house building , the bits that remain are impressive when you consider when it was built, 2m ditch with 3-4m bank behind .
On the sea side many of the small fields have remained unchanged , very similar to St Ives to Sennen area & Tintagel to Boscastle area , I assume all these areas are exposed to the sea so small fields remained a benefit through out history to keep animals sheltered?

Have you ever been up to my neck of the woods and seen the Giants Hedge? It’s a ditch and rampart that runs for 12 miles from Looe to Lerryn. It’s still largely intact in a lot of places and where its best preserved its over 3 meters high from the bottom of the ditch and 3 meters wide. It’s supposed to be Iron Age but no one really knows why it was built.
Sorry, tangent!

I have been up to your neck woods but not seen or heard of Giants hedge, I love finding fogous, Iron age forts & stone circles so I will put it on my list of things to see ( the kids love a mystery tour;) ). Thanks @CornishTone :cool:.
