Abstract:		 On the night of November 5th 1999, Lanyon Quoit and the Men an Tol were vandalised. An inflammable mixture of polystyrene dissolved in petrol (a crude napalm) was poured over the stones and ignited. This substance solidified to leave a hard, shiny, resin-like material adhering to the stones, with associated soot-blackening. 18 months later, natural weathering and visitors' finger nails had removed some of this residue, but the majority remained. This was carefully removed by hand, mainly using dental tools, in June 2001, in a project organised for the owners (the National Trust and the Bolitho Estate) by CAU, with funding from English Heritage, Penwith District Council, the Cornwall Heritage Trust, and Cornwall County Council. Lanyon Quoit was a SAM, Cornwall number 3, and was site number 30500 in CAU's Historic Environment Record. Men an Tol was SAM Cornwall 56 and 30458 in CAU's HER. [Au]
