Pagan stone circle may have been destroyed in religous hate attack
The site in Lampeter, south west Wales, which also includes an altar and fire pit has been damaged beyond repair.
The University of Lampeter is well-known for its theological courses and there is speculation that the attack could be religiously motivated.
The steps giving access to the site, in the grounds of the town’s Trinity Saint David University campus, were also torn apart.
Police believe that weapons, such as crow bars and pick axes, may have been used to deliberately cause as much damage to the area as possible.
Lampeter Pc Richard Marshall told town councillors at a meeting last week that the site had been “maliciously taken apart” and is now unsafe to use.
“It is disturbing,” he added. “This is a place of worship. If this was a church I’m sure we’d be hearing more about it.”
The pagan circle, which has been vandalised often in recent years, is also the subject of regular litter and debris clean-ups following impromptu parties by groups at the site.
This time, however, the damage was so extensive the temple and surrounding areas have had to be closed off amid health and safety fears.

If we don’t actively fight back then this is what we should expect. When we do outdoor events, people are welcome to watch if they are respectful, if not they are asked to leave, if not then I’ll leave the rest to your imagination. I DO NOT put up with this crap and neither should any of us.
Typical xtian bs destroy those or there things that we don’t agree with!2000 yrs of there bs is enough we should be fighting back!!!!
“If this had been a church” ? Of course IT’S A CHURCH! It’s a place of pagan worship. Those who are responsible will surely pay for their crimes, for Our Gods are not blind! Pc (Police Commissioner?)Richard Marshal,I’ll wager, isn’t throwing the full resources of his department to solve this case mearly because he’d have the “Christian Community” breathing down his neck saying “The Police are persecuting us!”. No one cares about “Pagan Rights”. I call upon The Lords of Karma, to rain down judgement upon those responsible,& those “safe-guarding” the guilty party, in whatsoever shape or form. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
