It seems that the 'damage' is under investigation, one of the henges has disappeared? due to tree planting and re-seeding, it will be a great pity as Priddy Henges are unique..

English Heritage experts have been investigating claims that one of the four Priddy Circles, which are Scheduled Ancient Monuments, has been obliterated.

I went and had a look yesterday, and took some pics. I can indeed confirm that the field containing much of the southern, and perhaps most well preserved of the three main Priddy Circles has indeed been bulldozed and flattened.
