Template:Megalith
I've created a new template for megalithic sites, Template:Megalith, as used on Pikestones and Round Loaf. Some instructions on the template talk page, to show how to use it. Cheers! --PopUpPirate 13:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I will take this one. Dudley Miles (talk) 12:46, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- "was scheduled as an ancient monument in 1882." I checked this as I thought it must be and error but I was wrong. According to Ancient Monuments Protection Act 1882 it was one of the 26 English monuments listed in the original Act. Worth mentioning?
- "The chambered long barrow was constructed during the Neolithic" This confused me as I thought at first you meant this barrow. I think "Chambered long barrows were constructed during the Neolithic" would be clearer.
- "The site was restored in 1858 by Mr T. R. Joliffe." The source says the mound, which is clearer. Also how do you know Joliffe was male? The source does not say so.
- His first names were Thomas Robert so I made an assumption that he was male. In his writing he is always known as "T.R." but I can add the full names if that would be helpful?— Rod talk 16:09, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- I would say Thomas Joliffe. The old rule was that you put Mr when someone was alive, and I once read an academic remark that he had found out about a colleague's death when he saw him referred to without the Mr. That rule has probably gone by the wayside but Mr still sounds a bit stilted to me.

- "Some of the artefacts from the excavations are in the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery." According to Pastscape bones as well but 'History and Research says they have been lost. Not sure how to deal with this unless you can find out from the museum.
- You could wikilink Timothy Darvill to shown he is an RS source. Also you are inconsistent Tim or Timothy.
- How do you know 'Stones of England' is RS? Also Megalithic Portal which seems to be composed (like Wikipedia) of contributions by anonymous contributors.
- I would prefer the last photo of the interior on the right as where it is on the left pushes the References section over which looks ugly.
- I think there should be a paragraph on location and access.
- I've added a short paragraph, but I couldn't think of or find much - what else do you think would be useful?— Rod talk 17:06, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- "via a stile a footpath from the south." sounds ungrammatical and vague to me. I would add by a footpath from a car park at Stoney Littleton Farm as in the Digital Digging site. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:55, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Your usual high standard. I will put it on hold now. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:32, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments. Do you think your concerns have been addressed?— Rod talk 17:06, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- I have passed it now. Dudley Miles (talk) 18:29, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
