Coldrum was vandalised a year or two ago, graffiti, of which traces can be seen and the little bastards set a fire in one of the stones cracking it in two, this can never be fixed.

Now I don't like railings and always climb over them but this sort of thing makes me so mad I could cry so you have to see both sides.

I think I'll go and weld the bastard back in place!!

If you're going to make a concerted effort in protecting somewhere, then protect it properly.

I know there's a problem, but I'm buggered if I know the solution.

Perhaps EH could look at custodians from the local population, or Mobile Wardens from their own organisation.

If EH paid me £50 a year to go some where just down the road and condition survey it and tidy up, I'd do it! Not a lot in Essex mind you..........!!

Interestingly, whenever I go to sites on private land, they are usually far better maintained in respect of litter and vadalism.

Mind you farmers have guns................

As was Men A Tol in Cornwall. Maybe it's just part of a further misunderstanding of our heritage. As picked up on earlier posts, history, as far as the UK goes tends to start with the Industrial revolution in most English schools, completely overlooking the vast cultural, economicand religious changes that took place over the countless millenia peceeding it. Better education and a healthy repect for our heritage might help, though somehow i doubt it. It only takes one bloody minded idiot to spoil it for everybody else.
