There is a difference, by the way. The difference actually makes no difference, but it's there. This was a mindless attack with no clear purpose (yet). The ploughing has the purpose of growing enough food for a burgeoning population - whether you like the effect or not. Metal-detectoring is (on the whole) about getting rich (visit Vegas folks the odds are better!)

This seems to have been the actions of one rather disturbed person - or a group of them, which is actually far more worrying. Question is: was it an attack on the Rollrights or an attack on the stones in general - Is there more to come?

By the gods I hope not!
