 * Symbol confirmed.svg Note to the nominator: Such a list of hooks is very offputting to a potential reviewer, implying as they do a lot of extra work checking them all, and in fact I did not. ALT0 is the hookiest and best but although I find support for the 3 tunnels and 6 holes, I don't believe there are inline citations stating that this was the only result of the program, and there may be ventilation shafts which would render it inaccurate anyway. So I am going for ALT1 and ALT1a. These have inline citations which support them. The image is appropriately licensed but not specially relevant to the hooks I have chosen. The article is new enough, plenty long enough, neutral and free from copyright problems as far as I can see. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:05, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
