the settlement at Cape Town in Southern Africa.[2][1] : if it's your preference, I note the refs are not in chronological order here. Actually, just noticed, these refs are redundant anyway as they are used again for the following sentence. I would just cite the entire paragraph to [1] and [2] at the end.
I don't usually bother with the order of the refs but am happy to do so for GA level. I don't like whole paragraph citation where individual sentences come from different sources but agree that [1] and [2] should move here -

established a settlement and fort.: perhaps namedrop Jamestown here (I assume that is the settlement referred to).
Agreed, think I must have had it that way as it wasn't Jamestown until after the Restoration. I've referred to it now as "later known as" -

which they renamed Good Fortune.: is the original name of the fort known?
It was originally the Castle of St John, then James Fort. I've gone back and added some more detail to the Background section -

It looks like, apart from the first sentence, the entire paragraph could just be cited at the end with [3] and [4].
Again, I prefer to not merge where individual sentences come from different sources, I did get rid of two [3][4]s in consecutive sentences -

Hi
Zawed, thanks so much for looking at this (and so quickly!). I think I've addressed all your comments above, the only thing I didn't action was the refs, which I prefer to keep separate -
