Motorbike scramblers damage 3,000-year-old ring cairn near Swansea

Scrambler motorbike riders have inflicted damage on an ancient 3,000 year old ring cairn near Swansea.

Witnesses have spoken of their horror at seeing riders of illegal off-road bikes using the historic ring cairn at Tor Clawdd, Mawr, as a circuit, causing significant damage.

Police officers attended the scene and have now pleaded with those responsible to think of "the consequences of their actions."

The ancient monument is the remains of a ring cairn of earth and stone, believed to date back to the Bronze Age.

Ancient Monuments UK, an online database of historic monuments, describe it as being of "national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of prehistoric burial and ritual practices" and "an important relic of a prehistoric funerary". Read more.

I was half asleep when I posted its now deleted predecessor. Cropped & resized, as I’d originally intended.
