Priddy Nine Barrows and Ashen Hill Barrow Cemeteries

 * ... that Priddy Nine Barrows and Ashen Hill Barrow Cemeteries (shown in the video) include 17 round barrows but may have had 20 in the Bronze Age?

 * Symbol question.svg age and size ok. Interesting article. no paraphrasing seen. I can't see in ref 4 where 450 metres south is mentioned (I was skimming so might have missed it....). With the Priddy Nine Barrows, when I scrolled through the source I thought the smallest was 12 m not 10 m (?). I'd give the date of the excavations (1815) as sounds more interesting than early 19th century and more exact too. The mention of the three extra barrows needs a reference.

 * Thanks for your comments. As suggested I have changed early 19th C in the lead to 1815 (which was given later in the article) & 10m -> 12m. Ashen Hill Barrows are about 450m south of the Priddy Circles however I have changed this to 750m as given for the 2 seperate barrows which is approximately the middle of the field (it's a big field). The source for the possible extra 3 barrows is this one which is given directly after the claim "A geophysical magnetometry survey investigated the area between the existing seven and the outliers which make up Priddy Nine Barrows suggesting that there may have been three further barrows, however the work was inconclusive". Are you saying another source is needed?&mdash; Rod talk 17:27, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my bad - it was late and I was tired. Symbol confirmed.svg all good to go. It's like watching a Time Team episode.... Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 21:21, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
