nearly destroyed site - what do I do?

Select a forum:
Carn Tulach was a large mound when Fred Coles visited in 1910, and once had a stone circle on top of it, although only one stone remained standing by the time he got there. The mound has yielded cists and a stone axe.

When the RCAHMS went there in 1975, the stone was still standing, but the mound had been quarried away to within 2m of it. I visited this site just after Christmas, and it appears to have been quarried even closer, and the stone has now fallen and is half-buried (see photos - http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/5062).

I'm going to send a report to the RCAHMS, but is there anyone else I should contact? The stone is on the edge of a commercial tip - would it be worth contacting the company that owns the tip, or is there a risk that could do more harm than good?

Cheers
Andy
