Well it looks like the mindless idiots are back again , this time with avengance.
Just had this email from Toby Catchpole of Glos' Archaeology Service.

"The vandalism to the SE chamber at Belas Knap has recurred (see photos attached). This time they've filled the entire chamber and damaged a substantial chunk of the drystone boundary wall. I assume it must be the same people as last time as the damage is so similar.

I will be arranging repairs but given the extent of the damage we'll have to arrange finances, order in replacement walling stone and do the works when our team have time in their schedule.

I thought I'd let you know in case you or your contacts noticed this and were concerned. We're on the case but it might take some time. Have you heard of anything similar happening elsewhere? I'm at a loss to know what they were hoping to achieve."

Aren't we all Toby!

Anybody else seen this sort of thing?

The world is full of idiots.

It would have taken a lot of effort to move that amount of stone, it's not the work of bored kids, more like a group of hefty blokes out to prove something.

I'm pretty gutted about the vandalism, but what a great bloke! We're lucky to have someone like Toby doing his job!

All credit to him...
