On the bright side - *all the stones are there* and there's a fairly good plan so it wouldn't be impossible to remake the site. The SMR doesn't afford any legal protection at all - it's just a list. Have you seen this - http://www.bradford.gov.uk/council/planning/heritage/scheduled_monuments.pdf - ? The form would generally be just to phone the county archaeology unit straight away and to ask them what's going on and what can be done. I'll be camping in a battlezone in a few weeks - back to the White Sultan's henchmen and their monster stone crusher !

The bloke concerned would say he was ignorant of the site being there - but he knew full well what it was (that's assuming it definitely was him - though if not, who the hell was it!?). On the occasion he ranted at me about being sat eating some sarnies in the circle & I asked about the oil-drums being there, along with some remarks about reporting the guilty party - and certainly then he was aware of its megalithic status. Let's hope your letter has some effect.

It's weird - look at all the attention given to Rollright when paint's been splattered all over it. But the complete destruction of a circle up North seems to be treated in a wholly different manner. Hmmmm... that's given me an idea...
