Lets look at the choice of words...

We need something to describe the sites that need protection..

Descriptors:

Ancient
Stones
Heritage
Culture
Sacred
Sites

and something that describes the action to be taken...

Action points:

Care
Preservation
Protection
Action

And possibly a description of the organisation...

Group
Collective
Trust (if applicable)

eg... Ancient Heritage Protection Group etc.

Or, go for something a little less long winded and more abstract...

First Light, Stone Watch, Sun Dial, Stone Light, Gnomon...

I can also sort quite cheap printing on stationery if needed.

I think Heritage Action is v good.

Also Heritage Action Group (HAG) would surreptitiously invoke Her third aspect.

Just a pennorth'!

I quite like that too, but wonder if in the common perception 'hag' is a bit too much of a negative word?

Quite like grrrr's strapline too!

We don't have to present the acronym to the public or on letterheads.... but hmmm, you may have a point. I quite like it anyway and think it's fairly straight to the point.

There's my vote cast, for what it may be worth :)

I agree that HAG isn't 'pleasant' in the general public eye, I also have doubts about the word 'group', it sounds somehow more reactionary and smallscale, rather than universal and deeply committed.

How about:

The Heritage Trust

'Guarding Our Ancient Heritage'

(that takes the piss so much i love it)

I thought grr's strapline was superb as well but there's a lot of use of it elsewhere according to Google, so it may still be up to you to stop working and get writing Moth!
