A SHEEP had to be put down after a dog reportedly attacked a flock at Stonehenge.

Police said the sheep that was put down had its face “savaged” in the attack on land north east of Fargo Wood, between Stonehenge Visitor Centre and Stonehenge itself at around 10.15am on August 5.

“We would like to remind people that livestock worrying – when a dog attacks or chases livestock in rural or any agricultural areas – is a criminal offence,” a police spokesperson said.

“Please keep dogs on a short lead when around livestock, and clear up after your dog as faeces can harm cattle and sheep.”

Anyone who has information about the attack is asked to contact 101 using reference number 54250108956.
