Entry: Thornborough Henge Complex - North Yorkshire - A2455157
Author: Venutius - U671359

Initial guide entry for the Thornborough Henges which is an ancient site in North Yorkshire.

Hi Venutius and welcome to Peer Review - the greatest blood-letting on h2g2.

I don't know this site you've described, and I'd like to see it, so could you gove a little more precise indication of its location in the member.

The article is also very brief, perhaps you couold add more detail on the place - who maintains it, times of opening, some more detail on its use as a celestial calender, that type of thing.

I've updated it based on your suggestions, hope you like it.

Hello Venutius

What about adding a link or 2, so that folk can see what it looks like? Such as
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/98
Photos on that site

or

http://www.hazelfurniture.co.uk/thornborough.htm
which is all about a handfasting held there That could be an interesting addition to your entry something about how it's being used nowadays and what rituals we ascribe to it.
And stuff about the star alignment on

Then of course there's the friends - with more fab photos...

There's heaps out there. And I'm sure I watched a TV programme about the henges not that long ago - Time Team possibly? Or Ancestors? Can't remember....

Much better Venutius

What do you think about Frenchbeans links ?

I'd really like to accept this. How about it, Venutius, are you ready?

Aha! it was Time Flyers and was repeated last week On the BBC

Venutius appears to have Elvised, so it's now or never, I think...

Sorry guys, I suddenly got pulled to run the Thornborough campaign for Heritage Action. See www.heritageaction.org since Tarmac have applied for planning permission to extend the quarry - see the press release section for a map.

I'll be reviewing the entry within a week or so and will update. Really sorrty to disappear on you but I hope you understand - I now have minions to command and Goliath corporates to battle with.

Excellent news - let us know when you've updated it

Good luck with Goliath! Let us know how things go.

Do you know how to add links to your entry, by the way?

I hope Venutius comes back to us!

Oh so do I. This has the potential to be a cracking entry

Hi Venutius

Are you still working on this? Everybody seems very keen for you to finish the final touching up of it.

I fear that Venutius has departed. They weren't much of a stayer in the first place, with this entry and PR thread being their main contribution to the site.

Given Jimster's comments above, I'm going to have a bash at picking this entry. Then we'll see how the land lies with regard to a Sub-ed finishing off the last bits.

Good on yer GD I'd hate this one to disappear without trace.
