One would like to think the perpetrators simply didn't know the significance of the mound. Was it fenced off or protected in anyway?

It should not need to be.

There's subtle hints
It's an on going problem in a scheduled ancient woodland. Some people just don't care and it reflects badly on the rest of the 4x4 community.
I wouldn't make that mess around a random dung heap in a field ffs

Totally agree but I was just hoping it was a naive mistake rather than a deliberate wanton act!

Awful!
Selfish and wanton vandalism with no respect for anyone, especially the ancient dead.

After 25 years of Time Team the whole bloody nation knows the significance of lumps in the ground. No viable excuses for this one.
That is true, but I bet this is not the first time this has happened and if they fenced it off it could not happen again.
As for the shame part, I dont think they know or care enough to be ashamed.

You assume everyone has watched time team, I never have and I have no knowledge of these burial humps either.

Did you not do history at school? Have you never looked on an OS map and seen the tumulus symbols?

Doesn’t matter, they know they’re not meant to drive there.

Yes I did History at School but have no recollection of these humps and no I have no idea what tumulus symbols are. Such wild assumptions that everyone knows the same things you do.

Also.its not assumptions, I'd like to think that all 4x4 drivers know the OS maps. Especially if you drive off road.

Not only that, I'd like to think that at some point in their selfish, greedy lives they would have picked up enough basic literacy to read the signs which are clearly displayed.

The only wild assumption is that you might have some form.of education and life experience. I apologise for those assumptions.
