yes its just like knotweed
I think that this is not what the alluminium company seller did to "sell" the land. What we can see is that angalsy alu-minimum bought 500 acres plus of farm land in the late 60s developed a factory on a quarter of the area -with very little evidence of any archaeology that I have been able to acertain,and which needed a nuclear power plant to run turns some of it into a cuddly park and then manages somehow to flog off 113 acres, six years ago, for untold millions to a bunch who thought that an aluminum plant was not enough of an impact on the invironment in the area and that a big car park would be nice. Aluminium plant goes bust allegadly and currently is presumably a brown field site.
Mean while "archaeologists" do good job with a bunch of no hope diggers presumably on short term contracts and bring archaeology into disripute with allegations that we cost little babies in incubzators lives 3 million plus when our get out of jail card would be an evaluation report that said this will cost you five to ten million to dig and take five years do you realy want to go ahead. And if they did not say that what did they say? I still cant believe (based in the universe of goggle) that there was not an environmental impact assesment for this site. EU monies EU directives. Still it all adds to my faith in how to wring the savings/profit/pension out of little old ladies.

I'm also beginning to wonder whether recent stories of this type may be part of a larger trend to try to discredit archaeology. However, if the aim is to show that archaeology is holding back development, this is perhaps not the best site to use as an example. The presence of archaeology on the site demonstrably didn't stop the development, and it's not being suggested that the cost of dealing with archaeology is the reason why the industrial park stands empty. Indeed, as trowelfodder said, the reason for dealing with all the archaeology up front was specifically to try to make it more attractive to potential businesses, so that the seller would be able to flog the plots with a guarantee that there'd be no additional archaeological costs.
