Happy to offer a review. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:21, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

I think sub-trapezoidal is a little jargony for the lead.
I see your point, but I'm not quite sure what we could use as an alternative. We have "sub-trapezoidal" on the Jacket's Field Long Barrow article. Maybe "roughly trapezoidal"? Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:29, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
Stour long barrows or Stour Long Barrows?
I'll ensure that it's capitalised throughout, if just to match the capitalisation of "Medway Megaliths". Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:35, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
"Stour long barrows are another regional cluster in Sussex, while a solitary long barrow is known at Badshot Farm in Farnham, Surrey." Any names/links?
Ah yes, there is: Badshot Lea Long Barrow. (I started the article a few weeks back). I'll add the Wikilink into the article. Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:29, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
"There is evidence for side ditches" Of?
That reads better. Changed. Midnightblueowl (talk) 15:29, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
That's all that jumps out at me. Please check my edits. There's a sense in which this site is perhaps - incredibly - only borderline notable, but you seem to have done a great job with the article. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:55, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Josh. I lean towards the view that all surviving long barrows probably warrant articles. In cases like this, where no excavation has taken place, obviously there isn't a great deal that can be said, but once that excavation occurs then hopefully a great deal more information will come flooding in that can be used in this article.

I do think "roughly trapezoidal" is a little better than "sub-trapezoidal", but I'll leave that to you. Either way, happy to promote - this is surely the fewest comments I've had on a GAC in years! Josh Milburn (talk) 20:40, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

I've added a "dubious" tag to the statement that the barrow is 29m high - isn't it more likely to be 2.9m? See also descriptions of nearby Julliberrie's Grave ("2.1m") and Jacket's Field Long Barrow ("almost 2m"). My apologies if I've mis-used this tag or otherwise flagged this inappropriately.

Both of the external links say ~two metres.  71.235.184.247 (talk) 02:59, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
Comments moved from Talk:Shrub's Wood Long Barrow/GA1. @Midnightblueowl: Could you look into this? Josh Milburn (talk) 13:49, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
It's 2m high according to the English Heritage listing so I have changed the text accordingly Hallucegenia (talk) 20:25, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
'Did You Know' on the Main Page still says 'nearly 30 m', but I don't know how to edit this. PhilUK (talk) 21:40, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
There has very clearly been an error here, and I'm not sure how it came to pass. My fault, apologies. Will fix it now. Midnightblueowl (talk) 10:47, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
