Article is new enough, longer than 1,500 characters of prose, no problems with the article, and the hook is under 200 characters. I changed "surviving remnants" to "remains" to make it a bit tighter. One minor point: should "earthenwork" be "earthwork"? I won't change it myself as it may be a difference between British and American English, but in British texts earthworks is the common term.

- The original 1960 report done by the US National Park Service, which is reference #7, uses "earthenwork."Coinmanj (talk) 20:47, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
- See earthworks (engineering) and the usage in the source for the statement in question. This is a mistake by Huhta, not standard usage. Nyttend (talk) 05:00, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
