There is a long history of human activity destroying the quality of land, and therefore ruining anything they hoped to get out of it. The Céide Fields[0] in Ireland are the example that sticks in my head the most. Both because something like it is included in Irish mythological cycles, and because of how it came to be known to the archaeological community.
