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)

I would love to hear from anyone out there interested in collaborating on improving this article. It could be easily expanded, the Head is a fascinating site from an historical and ecological point of view. It regular hosts educational field trips for schoolchildren but unfortunately the page here doesn't reflect the wealth of knowledge to be learned from study of the site.
I've made a small start (see Flora and Fauna section), but I lack the skills to bring this up to, say, Featured Article status (which Hengistbury Head could and should have!).

Another critical thing to work on is the references. These should ideally be formed using the appropriate template {{cite web}} | {{cite news}}. I've converted a number myself, just to give an idea. MasterOfHisOwnDomain ( talk) 17:59, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
The involvement of the Black House in smuggling is doubtful to say the least, my understanding is it dates from 1848 which would be too late, the story about it being painted black as a result of smuggling being apocryphal though I think it is fair that the stories should be included but made clear they are unlikely to be true. I don't think the Black house web page can be regarded as a reliable source in respect to its own history. See Battle of Mudeford for more information about smuggling around Christchurch. Many thanks for your excellent work by the way. Phil Whiston ( talk) 09:11, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
I found some problems (my own doing) with the references in this section. Just found a new source that covers this period. It has this additional information, which I'm struggling to transliterate:
Also this extra detail about Yarranton's plans may be worth inclusion, a block quote perhaps?:
