Here, we propose an SNS classification framework based on the types and levels of material and spiritual services that SNSs provide, and applied this framework in the Khawa Karpo, an important sacred area in the Tibetan region of China based on detailed field surveys conducted from 2000 to 20 to 2017 that addressed six types of SNSs, including sacred mountains, Ri Vgags, sacred lakes, sacred rocks, sacred caves, and sacred trees. However, the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the role of SNSs in conservation has resulted in overly simplistic classifications of SNSs that challenge current SNS research and conservation practice. The Tor is mentioned in Celtic mythology, particularly in myths linked to King Arthur, and has a number of other enduring mythological and spiritual associations.Sacred natural sites (SNSs) are examples of community-level governance for sustainable management of natural resources, which can greatly benefit nature conservation. After 2000, enhancements to the access and repairs to the tower, including rebuilding of the parapet, were carried out.Īrchaeological excavations during the 20th century sought to clarify the background of the monument and church, but some aspects of their history remain unexplained. The National Trust took control of the Tor in 1933, but repairs were delayed until after the Second World War. It passed through several generations to Reverend George Neville, when it was then bought as a memorial to a former Dean of Wells, Thomas Jex-Blake, who died in 1915. In 1786, Richard Colt Hoare of Stourhead bought the Tor and funded repair of the tower in 1804, including the rebuilding of the north east corner. Its tower remains, although it has been restored and partially rebuilt several times. The original wooden church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1275, and the stone church of St Michael built on the site in the 14th century. The head of a wheel cross dating from the 10th or 11th century has been recovered. Several buildings were constructed on the summit during the Saxon and early medieval periods they have been interpreted as an early church and monks hermitage.
