It seems to me that the paragraph order is now wrong, so I'm changing it back. If I'm missing something, please leave a note here. Rjm at sleepers 07:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
My apologies Rjm; I meant only to bump the picture up to the top right of the page. Oxonhutch 08:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
In my experience, archaeologists tend to talk about earthworks (plural, and often without an article) rather than an earthwork (singular and requiring an article). This seems to me to be a good reason to use the plural in the article title. Rjm at sleepers ( talk) 14:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
I have removed the following
The refs do not support the idea that earthworks (as defined in this article) are detected by EM surveys. Earthworks are surface features, while EM surveys detect sub-surface features. This paragraph would be better placed elsewhere. Rjm at sleepers ( talk) 07:13, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure "barrow" refers specifically to burial mounds (marked on OS maps as " Tumulus"). Offa's Dyke, for example, and the dozens of Iron Age hill forts dotting the English and Welsh countryside, are not called barrows as far as I know. Hairy Dude ( talk) 13:26, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
