Editing Tillage (section)

===Archaeology===
Tilling can [[Disturbance (archaeology)|damage]] ancient structures such as [[long barrow]]s. In the UK, half of the long barrows in [[Gloucestershire]] and almost all the burial mounds in [[Essex]] have been damaged. According to [[English Heritage]] in 2003, ploughing with modern powerful tractors had done as much damage in the last six decades as traditional farming did in the previous six centuries.<ref>[http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/upload/pdf/030725_RippingUpHistory.pdf "Ripping Up History"] July 2003 English Heritage</ref>
