Article is a recent GA, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is mildly interesting and supported with offline book source, accepted AGF. QPQ is done. AGF for copyvio as many sources are offline. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 16:18, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't find this hooky at all. This is a GA; isn't there other interesting detail you could mention? Yoninah (talk) 16:55, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

ALT1 ... that despite Shrub's Wood Long Barrow in Kent being nearly 30 m (100 ft) high, it was not discovered until about 1970?

@Yoninah: Here is a suggestion. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:18, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. @Zanhe: could you review ALT1? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:20, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

I'm unable to verify the new hook from available sources. The year of discovery (1970) is cited to p. 180 of this document, but I could not find any mention of the long barrow on that page. -Zanhe (talk) 04:47, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

@Zanhe: Its discovery is mentioned in the paragraph headed "Boughton Alupe". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:42, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

I see, it's referred to by its location Elmsted. It says it's "recently discovered" without specifying the year, so I've added "about" to ALT1. AGF for offline sources. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 06:54, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
