According to This is Cornwall:
ENGLISH HERITAGE is to take action after damning new footage emerged showing cows disturbing ancient standing stones in west Penwith.
The conservation group looks set to intervene after environmental campaigners recorded more damage to Tregeseal circle and nearby historic stones on Carnyorth Common.
"We are still looking at finding a long-term solution for the scheduled monument, however this may take some time because of the complex issues surrounding the management of the site," she said. [so nothing new there really - MegP Ed]
However Natural England disputed claims that the cows may be responsible for damage to the holed stone, which was first broken in the 1960s. "We do not suspect grazing animals as the vegetation there is too dense to penetrate," said Peter Bowden, land management team leader. "It is likely that the mortar weakened over time and cracked. It wasn't pinned in place – just a concrete mix was used."
The farmer who owns the cattle was not available for comment as The Cornishman went to press.
