The Commissioners of Public Works, aware of the need to protect this important group of passage graves, decided in 1967 to take it into guardianship. After successful negotiations with several landowners, 13 of the passage graves have been taken into State care and negotiations for the remainder are proceeding. A caretaker has been appointed who will keep the monuments under observation and report any interference or damage to them.
