I was upon on Big Moor on Sunday morning for the non-event of a sunrise. Having skirted around the deer I went to have a look at Barbrook II. It appears that someone has "excavated" the larger of the two cists leaving a hole with what appears like a piece of glazed title at the bottom. I have a phone pic if I could post that.

Who should I be reporting this to?

It is probably worth contacting the Derbyshire county archaeologist, details on the link.

Also to English Heritage and the police. Juamei will be better able to direct you - here's the article he wrote:

The police as a first port of call to ensure damage of this kind is investigated as a criminal matter, then English Heritage... I have emailed EH in Nottingham to alert them to this thread, I'll email you their address so you can send them pics!

I was up there 3 weeks ago with the family and didn't notice anything. Can you post pics up on here so I can compare with mine?
