    SiteColumnDeleted and ListColumnDeleted. These two events should be your area of interest under Purview Audit Logs.

    Hey Bd2023-b​
    I tried to use site audit without success but maybe it will work for you : 
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/configure-audit-data-for-a-site-collection-a9920c97-38c0-44f2-8bcb-4cf1e2ae22d2#bkmk-activate-reporting

    But you can try with purview audit if you have the required licences
    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/audit-log-activities#sharepoint-list-activities

    To prevent people from modifying lists structure, you can either modify "members" authorizations, or create a specific SharePoint Role.

    Change their permissions from "Edit" to "Contribute"

    Hope it helps !
    Best regards,
    Bruce
