Castle Preservation

Most castles in Great Britain are in ruins. Many got that way from neglect, or by stripping of the masonry from a site to build houses and walls. There are still many castle sites that are being neglected. Help is needed from us to preserve this great heritage so that future generations will be able to enjoy them.
