Sligo’s Neolithic tombs are being vandalised ‘on scale never seen before’Five-thousand-year-old Neolithic tombs in Co Sligo are suffering damage and vandalism “on a scale never seen before” and will not survive unless action is taken immediately, archaeological experts have warned. There are 75 passage tombs in Co Sligo, almost one-third of the estimated 240 in the State, according to the Sligo Neolithic Landscapes Group, which is pressing for the county’s Neolithic heritage to be deemed a World Heritage Site by Unesco. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/sligo-s-neolithic-tombs-are-being-vandalised-on-scale-never-seen-before-1.4310914 |

It's so sad. Upland cairns seem to take a battering everywhere. Hard to know what's best to do to change folk's behaviour and to make them care more. Not stone related but I read this today, sad times. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-53528869 |

| This is so infuriating. It's going to get to the stage where lots of these places will be closed to the public. I nearly came to blows with an idiot in Loughcrew last week. And just today at Dowth, more interference with the cairn. The perennial question: what is wrong with people? Fucking twats. |
