Nine Stones valdalised once again
The Nine Stones of Winterbourne Abbas (Dorset, England) have yet again been damaged with graffiti. An Heritage Action site inspector found a 3 foot high swastika on the large stone closest to the road. This was clearly visible despite what appears to be someone elses valiant attempt to remove it. Fortunately, as of 3rd June, the swastika has now gone, presumably removed by another visitor to the site. Experts are trying to establish the frequency of abuse at this site as there have been a number of attacks dating back at least 2 years.
