A87804345

I've removed **THIS ENTRY IS STILL PENDING** after the link to the Oliver's Battery entry, which somehow escaped the notice of the Eds

After I'd sent the entry back to the Eds Bob asked for that link to be changed to one for Saint Catherine's Hillfort, but I can't find that entry. I've asked him for a link.

I think that's A87791917

...which is the same as "Oliver's Battery"

Must be another St Catherine's

Olivers Battery is on St Catherine's Hill.

Nobody has ever got a straight answer out of Bob.

I've changed the pronunciation "Ant-reb-art-ease" to "At-reb-art-ease" as there is no way there should be an "n" in it.

The hillfort had a chapel dedicated to St Catherine built in the 12th Century, and was known as St Catherine's Hill, but after Oliver Cromwell thought that the hill was a splendid place to put some cannon, overlooking Winchester as it did, it is also known as Olivers Battery (curiously without the apostrophe). So it is officially St Catherine's Hill, also known as Olivers Battery.

I don't think there is any other entry. I think that Bob thought that the pending entry would have a different entry number from the Edited entry, so he asked for the number of the edited entry to be substituted when the entry was finally edited.

The Olivers Battery entry was originally called "St Catherine's Hill Fort".

I've just re-read the conversation I had with Bob about this F3555392?thread=8304414&post=110796165#p110789375 It could be interpreted several ways - change the link to St Catherine's Hill Fort, change the name of Oliver's Battery to St Catherine's, or Bob getting his entries muddled up.

I guess we should just leave it as is for now.

Excuse me for popping in here, but I saw this thread appear on the Front Page and spotted something that may be of help.

Here is the St Catherine's Hill Entry A87789721 - the second Peer Review Thread indicates that the Olivers Battery Entry was renamed after being Recommended.
