Police are investigating the ‘malicious’ destruction of a pagan stone circle destroyed in what they fear was a religious hate attack.
Shocking!
Police believe the attackers could have used crow bars and pick axes, with speculation that the attack could have been religiously motivated.
Awful!
Lampeter PC Richard Marshall told a town councillors meeting last week the site had been ‘maliciously taken apart’ and is now unsafe to use.He said: ‘It is disturbing. This is a place of worship. If this was a church I’m sure we’d be hearing more about it.’
I’m not. A mosque, certainly…
Stone circles and henges originated in Britain over a 2,000-year period starting in the late Neolithic period and continuing into the Bronze Age.
So….why isn’t English Heritage involved in this? I mean, if it’s a genuine Neolithic monument, then…
Oh. Wait
The group now hopes to secure funding for a complete rebuild at the current site to improve access and security, or to move to a new location.
Well, how could you possibly repair or move something so ancient?
Because it isn’t. It’s a modern ‘pagan stone circle’, about 14 years old…
Strangely, the ‘Mail’ doesn’t make that clear. Bit naughty of them.
I have a pagan rockery in my garden. It’s about 20 years old.
Where do I apply for funding to move it to the other side of the garden for improved security and access?
Ha ha – I have one of those too. Let me know if you get the funding.
And I notice the Mainly Fail included the word ‘ancient’ so both the tab title and the URL include it. Still, how much is really that ancient? Stonehenge has got Victorian era concrete slapped all over it.
Tru dat!
It’s all in the ‘artistic interpretation’ is it? I believe the Incas were quite into heavy rock as well.
Here’s another little piece of jounalistic and archaeological exaggeration. link to bbc.co.uk
So this buried building is full of nineteenth century artifacts and just because it has a mummified cat, not that uncommon, it then becomes a ‘witches cottage’.
The dumbing down continues apace….
I’m underprivileged, having no pagan stone in my flat. Do you think I could get funding for deprivation?
