Talk:Carn Brea, Redruth

message: This text could do with some hard references to substantiate dates and history. I have seen and heard various factoids (then repeated on websites) but the history of Carn Brea is often retold and can drift from documented fact.
I also doubt the statement These provided the first evidence in Britain of permanent Neolithic settlement..., what about the permanent Neolithic settlement at Skara Brae excavated by 1930?

message: All right, folks. That's something like 15 edits all just adding or removing this one line of text, and no other edits to this article in months. WP:LAME is right. Talk it over until you get some kind of agreement, please, and tell me, or another admin, and we'll unprotect. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 18:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've set it at 2 days, since this is just one line about a stolen car, and not the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, so surely reaching at least some kind of grudging agreement in a few days is not impossible. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 18:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Changed to Smugglers' Cave from Smugglers' Tunnel to fit with Michael Tangye's description in his book and added the book as a reference.
Note that as a young boy (in the 1970's) I was lowered down on a tow-rope by my cousin into part of the Smugglers' Cave "tunnel" that then could be entered by a small overgrown hole along its length (about 40 foot away from the larger cave-like entrance further towards the Cross, later blocked off by the Council). It was partially blocked and the floor of the tunnel was loose slate. The tunnel was about 5 foot in height but I was too frightened to release myself from the rope to go exploring any further, probably a sensible decision as I could see that parts of the tunnel had already fallen in. -- Ashley VH 10:41, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added the GPS coordinates and a photograph for the cave entrance after tracking it down on 19 June 2008. The entrance was overgrown with ferns and difficult to reach as there is no nearby path. I would recommend looking for it in winter when the ferns have died down and anyone trying should take care as there are some treacherous gaps hidden between the rocks along the ridge.—Ashleyvh (talk) 11:07, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Smugglers' Cave 

message: The book Cornovia: Ancient Sites of Cornwall & Scilly by Craig Weatherhill,  has an excellent piece on the prehistory of the Carn, if someone has access to the book they would find useful and citable additions for the article. I have the book, and can supply extracts to editors, but am currently unwilling to edit the article. DuncanHill 10:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry that the page has become subject to an edit war. I also feel disinclined to contribute in such a hostile environment. After adding a few references to Smugglers' Cave I shall retire until User:Tony Sidaway feels he has made his point and gets bored of picking an argument. Tony, you win, congratulations.

thread_title:  Map: A30 mislabeled 

message: What do they do? When did it grow? The article defines a civil parish that does not appear to have existed before 1974. What was it before that date?
I have never heard of Carn Brea before (and I live in the UK). Enough about archaeology and a car that was in a film, I want to know about the history of the community since, say, 1800.

replies: text: Carn Brea does not have 55,000 people. That figure is for the Camborne-Redruth area, including several other parishes. I'm not sure it really belongs in this article. DuncanHill (talk) 14:33, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
