Interesting article about something obscure -my favourite. Hook is interesting and reffed. Article is long enough and has lots of refs and no sign of close paraphrasing. Image is free thanks to Lincolnshire County Council (Hurrah!) and the only odd thing is the scale, as I've looked, and it doesn't say what the scale represents. I guess its kind of useful to just imply that they are small. I think this is good to go so thanks Cwmhiraeth (and for the numerous other bits of housekeeping you do - Hurrah!)
