This site has suffered over the years with people moving quite large quantities of stones around to build \u2018fairy stacks\u2019, seats, low walls and barriers. Sadly the end result is a protected Scheduled Monument which has been extensively altered and its place in the wider historic landscape potentially compromised as its construction and precise location is inextricably linked to other scheduled monuments nearby.<\/p>\n<p>The Devon and Cornwall Police Rural Affairs Team are seeking to highlight the fact that Scheduled Monuments are protected in law and it is a criminal offence to damage them in any way. Moving stones inside a scheduled monument is an act of damage and therefore constitutes the full offence. Police are appealing for any witnesses to this latest incident&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alerts.dc.police.uk\/Alerts\/A\/195302\/Damage-caused-to-bronze-age-cairn-on-Bodmin-Moor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>image for illustration: Jon Coupland \/ Bodmin Moor field boundary\u00a0Commons Wikimedia The Devon and Cornwall Police Rural Affairs Team are seeking information following damage caused to bronze age cairn which sits between Longstone Cross (Long Tom) and Craddock Circle near &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=41086\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[18,29,85,31],"class_list":["post-41086","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog","tag-conservation","tag-heritage","tag-monument","tag-nature"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41086","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=41086"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41086\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41088,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41086\/revisions\/41088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=41086"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=41086"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=41086"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
