Talk:Drakelow Hillfort

Two hill forts
There are two hill forts at Kinver Edge. If someone doesn't get there first I will update this article when I've got some spare time. See: http://www.pastscape.org.uk/hob.aspx?hob_id=116717 --Wolvobirder (talk) 02:43, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Ah! I thought the link broken but the "--" was part of your signature. -- PBS (talk) 14:46, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Yes sorry I've fixed that link now (as you were typing it would seem). Also there are two forts marked on the Ordnance Survey Explorer Map for Wyre Forest & Kidderminster (number 218). The one already in the article is for the one on the very southern tip of Kinver Edge at Drakelow. The other one I am suggesting adding to the article is on the far northern tip just SW of Kinver village. I suppose one could even argue that the fort at Drakelow should be in a separate Wikipedia entry under the title of "Drakelow Hillfort" because judging just purely on the OS map it looks to be beyond the southern tip of Kinver Edge but I don't have enough local knowledge to be sure. -- Wolvobirder (talk) 14:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I am in a position now to add the second fort to the article if PBS isn't working on it already? What would happen if I adjusted the title to "Kinver Edge Hillforts"? I am quite new to Wikipedia and I am unsure what effect this would have. -- Wolvobirder (talk) 15:05, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * As the two Hill forts are in different counties, I think it better that there are two different articles. I suggest that this article is moved to Drakelow Hillfort, and place the site you have highlighted above is written up as Kinver Edge Hillfort with a hatlink to Kinver Edge Hillfort, Worcestershire which redirects to Drakelow Hillfort (that should take care of searches). -- PBS (talk) 15:11, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks for the help PBS. I've read up on how to move articles so I will do this now -- Wolvobirder (talk) 15:18, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I've moved it. We can justify the name change from this link Archaeological Investigations Project 2000 Post-Determination & Non-Planning Related Projects: West Midlands: WORCESTERSHIRE page 10 which cites ''Archaeological Watching Brief at Drakelow Hillfort, Wolverley and Cookley, Worcestershire (Report 893) by Miller, D & Jones, L Worcester : Worcestershire County Council Archaeological Service, 2001 -- PBS (talk) 15:28, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You can now build an article in place of the redirect at Kinver Edge Hill Fort. I will create the redirect to Kinver Edge Hillfort, Worcestershire. -- PBS (talk) 15:28, 30 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks I have now built the article. -- Wolvobirder (talk) 15:52, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
