Following the recent promotion of List of Scheduled Monuments in Bath and North East Somerset I'm nominating the smaller but similar list of similar sites in the Taunton Deane district of Somerset. The formatting of the list is the same; however there are only 33 entries in this one.— Rod talk 08:32, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks excellent. One thing though. I just started Balt Moor Wall and the source does say that the wall was first mentioned in Stephen's charter between 1135 and 1154 so technically, although likely, there doesn't appear to be proof in the English heritage source it did actually date to before 1135 and could have been built in say 1140 and first mentioned in 1150. Do you have another source which says it was definitely built before 1135?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:01, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comment and starting the article. Another source says possibly 9th century - added.— Rod talk 11:30, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "Taunton Deane was granted borough status in 1975, perpetuating the mayoralty of Taunton." I do not understand this.
  • "supporting this" Perhaps "governing this system"?
  • You need to check duplinks.
  • Done in lead - but in a sortable list removing those after the first occurrence doesn't work if the order is changed by the sort.— Rod talk 19:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "It was presented, in 1946, by Major Alexander Gould Barrett, to the National Trust and serve as a memorial" Should be "and serves" or "to serve"?
  • "The defensive walls and part of Taunton Castle". The defensive walls and other parts of Taunton Castle?
  • The scheduled bit is the walls and part of the castle. A lot of it has been rebuilt so not included in the schuduling.— Rod talk 19:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK if you do not regard the walls as part of the castle.
  • Map does not show site names - you seem to have forgotten name=.
  • Will check.— Rod talk 19:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure what you mean by this - the labels show on google maps when I click on the link (as in the BANES one).— Rod talk 20:00, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apologies. My error.
  • Balt Moor Wall. Length not given - EH says 550m survives.
  • Buckland priory fishponds. "The ponds were probably dug in the 13th century and were filled in by 1725." Yet the picture shows a pond still surviving.
  • This source says filled in by 1725 with a picture of the larger area, but I think (maybe) a small area shown in the picture still has water.— Rod talk 19:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Two bowl barrows in a line" - a line of two points?
  • Thanks for the comments (and edits - I reverted one re churchyard and village crosses, could you check). I will look at the map labels.— Rod talk 19:56, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ah I misread churchyard and village crosses as two different things. Why do you need "and village" when they are all in churchyards?
  • Thanks & good point. Changed to just churchyard crosses. There are some village ones on other lists I'm working on but not this list.— Rod talk 07:49, 17 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The lead summarises the contents well and describes Taunton Deane and Scheduled monuments in a way which is easy to understand. As far as I can tell, it is complete and thorough, as well as being well-cited throughout. Well done! --Noswall59 (talk) 17:21, 5 December 2014 (UTC).[reply]
