Here's a fairly unsensational report from the local press:

And a report from a conservation blog:

I can't find a law report online from the trial, it may not have been reported.

Those are helpful links tsc ... its all been very unfortunate but Mr Penny doesn't come across as a deliberate vandal. Its easy to see how earth moving machinery could damage the henges unless a clear instruction had been given to avoid them. To someone with no awareness of ancient sites they are not that easy to discern (unlike Avebury).
