Endangered battlefields, listed or not

Will parse Civil War Preservation Trust's endangered battlefield list next week.

You can read ahead here.

Meanwhile, on the day of the CWPT press conference, eighty homes were approved for construction at the site of the Rappahannock Station battle in Virginia's Fauquier County. It somehow failed to make "the most endangered battlefield list" on the day it was wiped out.

Which leads to the question of criteria and methodologies, don't you think?
