Suspended sentence for man who damaged 4,500-year-old monument
A man who filmed himself damaging an ancient artwork up to 4,500-years-old has been ordered to pay for its restoration in the first prosecution of its kind in Wales.
Julian Baker, 52, admitted deliberately exposing and damaging the Bronze Age monument believed to date back as far as 2500BC.
Heritage officials said Baker – who filmed himself and uploaded footage to Facebook – ruined part of the artwork beyond repair and it is now “lost forever”.
