Template:Megalith
[edit]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)
Add past maps
[edit]Britain didn't look the same in the past. This fact is of crucial significance. Please add maps for all eras mentioned.

Title of article: Eartham Pit
[edit]It would be useful if the article explained that the title, "Eartham Pit, Boxgrove", is the official name of the SSSI that is more usually known as "Boxgrove Quarry". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.158.139.99 (talk) 12:56, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
British English is a language variant, but not a place
[edit]I am replacing the following text:
- ... in the British-English county of West Sussex.
with
- ... in the English county of West Sussex.
I would rather hope that the reason for the change is obvious, but recent experience suggests otherwise. Therefore I am noting here that the term British English refers only to the variant of the English language spoken in Great Britain (and even then is not hyphenated).

Why is this relevant?
[edit]Zero relevance to the article. Trivial:
"In 2011, Roberts told interviewers from the student-produced archaeological magazine Artifact that Boxgrove was "a fickle mistress indeed" and that whilst he wouldn't change his experience in investigating the site, the excavations "extracted a very heavy price" from him, "a price that I am only just at the point of paying the final instalment on". For this reason he found that he often hummed The Specials' 1979 song "Too Much Too Young" to himself when thinking about the project.[5]"
