Okay this is slightly out of prehistory, but a part of Offa's Dyke has just been vandalised by some stupid (new) owner, very similar to Priddy circles.
Very much a Scheduled Ancient site. It's the Daily Mail news but very good photos from them.....

Makes me mad this apparent total disregard for our heritage. Does anyone outside of stoneheads care? Seems not.

‘Danny’ (the plonker responsible) is reported as saying, “I’ve lived here all my life and I've never heard of Offa's Dyke. We bought this from a bloke next door and want to put stables on it. Nobody said anything to us about a historic monument, it wasn't mentioned.”

Jeeze...
