Hi, I've just registered and am wondering if anyone can help with the law concerning monuments that are not on protected lists.

The dolmen and site at Tawnatruffaun is in real danger at the moment with the surrounding plantation being felled and tracks of the JCB within 9 feet of the Dolmen. With almost 80% of the adjoining wall destroyed this week the structure is in real danger.

The dolmen is listed here

and there is a facebook page here

any help would be greatly appreciated.
