Pikestones Attack

close

This is extremely worrying, I visited here a week ago and saw some of the damage shown in Treehugger’s shots, but whilst nasty then,it was not quite as extensive as it is now, whoever did this has returned to continue their attack on the spiral. Rivington does attract the attention of local morons but this seems to be the work of someone with a specific target in mind.

Tree, Did you see any sign of the stones used to hit the spiral? I found nothing, which after seeing the increased damage leads me to wonder whether a hammer has been used, and also raises the question of whether the attacker will return.

I have photo’s on my laptop from last week which I’ll post later.

Hi Livingrocks

Its definately been attacked again since your visit, i would say it had been done on the Sunday i photgraphed it as the dust from it was still lying on the stone.
i looked for the stone used to but nothing was apparent i think your right and a hammer was used.

In disbelief

Tree

can you give me directions from chorley using a car..suffering with back problems so can't walk too far but i will go up next week and check the site..if you can give me the nearest place to leave my car i'll go on foot from there...thanks.

Checked out the Pikestones again last weekend, there's no further damage , but the stone has been left horribly scarred, much of the surface around the spiral has been pounded away-Will keep an eye out for any further vandalism.
