Education is probably part of the answer. But even then, it is no defence against someone determined to do willful damage.
Education, yes, but (and I never thought I'd end up all Daily Express) bigger punishments as well. Whoever bulldozed the Priddy Circle simply wouldn't have if he'd known two house bricks awaited him....
Most definitely education. Bigger fines, imprisonment or violence, as you seem to suggest, won't solve anything once the site has been damaged. All seems very reactionary to me and just adds to the problem.
Seems to me the best answer is to get the sites properly protected by law and for the law to be properly upheld, doesn't mean come all the heavy. Seems obvious to me that if somebody buys a piece of land then something can be written into the paperwork that means the site can be protected. Appeal to the landowners sense of pride.
Sadly, if someone wants to vandalise something they will and for the Priddy it seems nobody cared to much. Seems nobody tried to stop the guy bulldozing.
