Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:21, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I think sub-trapezoidal is a little jargony for the lead.
  • Stour long barrows or Stour Long Barrows?
  • "Stour long barrows are another regional cluster in Sussex, while a solitary long barrow is known at Badshot Farm in Farnham, Surrey." Any names/links?
  • "There is evidence for side ditches" Of?

That's all that jumps out at me. Please check my edits. There's a sense in which this site is perhaps - incredibly - only borderline notable, but you seem to have done a great job with the article. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:55, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Josh. I lean towards the view that all surviving long barrows probably warrant articles. In cases like this, where no excavation has taken place, obviously there isn't a great deal that can be said, but once that excavation occurs then hopefully a great deal more information will come flooding in that can be used in this article.

I do think "roughly trapezoidal" is a little better than "sub-trapezoidal", but I'll leave that to you. Either way, happy to promote - this is surely the fewest comments I've had on a GAC in years! Josh Milburn (talk) 20:40, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
