Log Text: All the forest trees have been felled so has a very stark, 'post apocalyptic' vibe over the whole hillside now. However the tomb now at least has a beautiful outlook over the sea which presumably it didn't have when in its deep forest. The logging operations don't seem to have harmed the stones fortunately
