Talk:Royston Cave

Sheela na gig

Urm the majority of the evidence points to sheela na gig's being medieval which makes it fit in nicely with the rest of the medieval imagery in the cave. It certainly wouldn't point to the neolithic era. There was a "fertility figure" found at Grimes Graves neolithic flint mines but it's widely believed to be a fake. Pryderi 17:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I scanned the plates from my original copy of Joseph Beldam's book The Origins and Use of the Royston Cave, published in 1884 and added them to the article as I felt it needed some illustrations. Beldam died in 1866, so this work is most definitely out of copyright. --Tascio 10:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

POV
Removed "but absorbingly interesting" from the intro. I wouldn't argue with the opinion, but unfortunately, it's non-NPOV. Rojomoke (talk) 12:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Rewriting
Some reworking is needed under Speculations' have 'recently speculated' and 'modern times' and under Rediscovery have 'Today's archaeology'; and there is much use of hypotheticals. Jackiespeel (talk) 16:11, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
