Talk:Castle Hill, Mere

Tagged for over eight months; as it stands, it could be a useful subsection of the main article, but as it is, and unsourced, it just doesn't make it as an article on its own. Rodhull andemu  23:34, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

18th-century excavations
From

"The earliest castle excavation noted in the R.C.H.M.E. inventory took place at Mere in Wiltshire between 1700 and 1750. Little is known about the motives of the excavator, but it is fairly safe to assume that the 'humps and bumps' of the earthworks were what attracted him.""

No further details than the above quote, but perhaps a useful note for the article. Richard Nevell (talk) 11:27, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Richard, sounds good. Happy if I add something in later? NB: have you seen any formal publications on the recent dating at Skipsea Castle? I've seen the mass media reports, but nothing more formal. Hchc2009 (talk) 11:36, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Go right ahead. With Skipsea the closest we have to a formal publication at the moment is the project's blog site, roundmoundsproject.wordpress.com. The project runs for another year, so I should think there will be journal articles or similar in the works, but I've not been able to track down a grey literature report yet - probably because it's very new.
