Defaced stone. Whoever did this obviously took time and effort – but why are they doing it?

Looking south over the barrow. It is visible as a slight bump between the disturbed earth/chalk and the railway embankment in the background.
View southest over the barrow – visible as the bump in the middle of the picture.
Temp post showing cropmarks and rough position of the original planned wind turbines.
Well preserved wide cup and pair of rings on a stone a few feet from the main panel.
The deep cup and wide spaced ring on the bottom right got partly cut out of the shot due to the blinding sunlight filtering through the leaves making the camera viewfinder almost useless.
Satellite image of the area of Little Argham Henge, the henge appears as a faint circular mark arrowed on the picture and shown enlarged lower right where the northwest entrance can be seen as a gap through the bank. The southeast entrance isn’t quite as clear.
The image is from 2002 before google updated their maps.
The ‘Man Stone’ PRAWR 516. The carving is at the southern end of the stone
“There is very little to see on this site now” – Fieldnotes I wrote in 2003. I’ve never been able to get much of a photo of the remains of the barrow, this is the best I can get. The darker patch of grass marks the western end of the earth mound.
This one is carved in bas-relief and really stands out from the wall. August 2007
Bison-like carving. Not easy to see in the photo but absolutely magical when seen in real life as it is just above head height from what I recall. August 2007
Looking east across the settlement site. The inset shows the position of the lake based on site and excavation plans.
Looking west across the site. The area in shadow to the left would have been the shore of Lake Pickering.
At night the church is lit by lurid orange sodium ground lights, it looks much better in black and white than in colour.
Looks like the farmer had been muck speading recently, pity he managed to get it all over this stone.
Big skies over Big Moor. It’s amazing how many aircraft can be seen passing overhead on a clear day.
This picture shows just how close the stones are to the path which is the line of dark green beyond the tree in the centre.
