Talk:Raedykes

Class
Clearly meets C-class assessment however in need for more referencing to achieve b class. Franko2nd (talk) 13:52, 9 March 2020 (UTC)

Importance
stems from site of or near to Battle of Mons Graupius. Also key link turning inland for Roman invasion of Scotland. Hadrianheugh 02:01, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

A few observations
The directions won't be much use to anyone trying to locate the site of this camp. "South of Aberdeen" - it's 12 miles (19 km) away. The grid reference NO 084090 is the summit of a boggy hill NW of Kinross, some 68 miles or 110 km away to the southeast. The proximity of two tower-houses is interesting, but irrelevant. The references should be moved to "see also"", nad a more relevant location inserted. - done

Drainage basins in the area are also irrelevant. The camp crowns the hilltop and slopes. I find the insertion of italicised portions irritating and unnecessary. A Wiki article is meant to be read, not squinted at. - done

I've inserted inline links for those forts and camps which have Wiki articles. One of the references was to a short article on a website, and appears to be original research - no references. This doesn't meet Wiki requirements, especially at the author classifies Raedykes as a hillfort. I've removed it. The sentence about signalling to the fleet is speculation, also removed.
