[edit] Adding an external link
Hi,
I believe that it is proper Wikipedia etiquette to anounce the adding of external links to a page in the discussion section, so I thought that I better had.
I've added a link to 'The Willows' at http://www.thewillows-westhay.com The Willows lies at Westhay, just outside of Glastonbury on the Avalon Marshes (next to the Peat Moors Visitor Centre) and provide a good base to explore the Avalon Marshes and other areas of the Somerset Levels. I hope that this is ok.
With Kind Regards Paul
- Hello Paul, thanks for your courteous notification on this page and SSSI. You'll see that both the links have been reverted, as they don't fit in with Wikipedia guidelines on external links. But don't be discouraged - why not register for a username and do some more editing- I'm sure you've got plenty of contributions on these topics you can make.

[edit] Query on dating
The article gives incredibly precise dates for the track and its precursor. I think the article should describe (if only briefly) how these were derived. Dendochronology? Or did someone find an abandoned copy of the Spring 3806BC edition of the Somerset Times stuffed into a pole hole? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.74.200.66 (talk) 09:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
- The reference attached to the date of 3807 or 3806 BC explains that tree ring dating can be used to give this level of accuracy see Current Archaeology 172 - Special issue on Wetlands.— Rod talk 16:55, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

- I have been doing research and update on Road and found your article. I notice that this article has the statement "is the oldest known engineered roadway." but I see in the reference [1] "The earliest of the trackways discovered so far is the Sweet Track." and "it has been claimed to be the oldest road in the world". Claimed being one of the keywords here. So I am going to edit the opening statement a bit. Jeepday 13:52, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Megalith
I've created a new template for megalithic sites, Template:Megalith, as used on Pikestones and Round Loaf. Some instructions on the template talk page, to show how to use it. Cheers! --PopUpPirate 13:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
