Forgot to ask - have you reported the damage to CADW?

Not Cadw , but I have informed the National park. All a bit late and probably a bit pointless too , but at least they now know.

I have read about some authorities using covert cameras at some places to catch some pathetic sad morons like 'TD' in the act. Perhaps even signs warning 'You are on CCTV' at notorious spots such as Maen Llia might do something?

Never too late! Also worth reporting to the police as its criminal damage. If enough incidents are reported more resources will be devoted to the issue and things like cameras may become possible.

Currently on a weeks explorations of the western end of Galloway.. three defiied sites not on TMA - but will be when I get back and sort pix - one cairn with a big obelisk recently plonked on top, one major triple ditch earthwork with ongoing severe erosion by livestock, one stone with a huge silage store freshly put a foot away - really - and one TMA site, Whirlpool fallen stone, which, like Carl, I couldnt find despite damn good look. Really wondering if its been removed : ( Thankfully found some fab places too to compensate.

Hi Cerrig, are the new incisions definitely new?
I read a PDF from 2005 on Archwilio the other day and this mentioned the initials 'TD' carved into Maen Llia. It only mentioned one however.
I'll see if I can copy and paste the quote if I get a chance..
Edit.. Here's what it actually says on the page for the stone,
"A very large and impressive standing stone, aligned N-S, measuring c.3.65m high x 2.75m wide x 0.75m thick. Its base is surrounded by a hollow of sheep scour. Graffiti visible on the west face of the stone includes a date of 1860 and 'G HAY, ID, LC', whilst on the east face is 'TD'. The stone is situated on the west side of a valley, to the south of a col, and its siting affords views down the valley to the south. There is depth of peat up to 0.5m in close proximity to the stone. (CPAT 2004)"
(I'm just really hoping it's not another idiot round here...)

I would have to agree with Carl that the one set of initials do look old , but there are at least two sets of td's , and I have never noticed either before , and when I noticed the one the other one became obvious . I think there is a new addition .

The locality of Skelpick in general, in particular:
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/17830/skelpick.html
How the locals are allowed to get away with this - the accumulated rubbish is obviously household, not fly tipping from vans etc - is beyond me.
Anyone suggest an e-mail address of a body that might actually take this seriously?
