Beginning first close reading. I've amended a few typos, but please check my changes. A first general point: the article is laden down with duplicate links. There are four links to the Mendip Hills, six to Bronze Age, eight to Neolithic and so on. See
WP:OVERLINK: you need to reduce all links to one apiece in the lead and one apiece in the main text. (For notes and image captions there is no limit.) There is a very handy and simple tool
here that helps enormously. Comments on particular points follow shortly. – Tim riley talk15:15, 12 September 2014 (UTC)reply
I've dealt with some of these. The short form are
Template:Sfn copied from other articles, now expanded. A few of the refs will need a trip back to the library so give me a few days.—

Bath and North East Somerset
"which pales it in the Late Neolithic" – strange verb: is it a typo?
"particularly around the Charterhouse Roman Town and lead mining" – not sure what this means: are the sites around the town and the mining or are the sites and mining around the town?
"uncertain date; however, the most recent" – I have amended the punctuation, but I question whether you want "however" there at all: it dilutes the prose, to my mind.
That's all my quibbles on the text. Nothing very serious. This article is an adroit and pretty much ideal overview and is clearly heading to GA. Once you have addressed these points, and those mentioned earlier – most pressingly the overlinking – we can proceed. – Tim riley talk16:19, 12 September 2014 (UTC)reply
Thanks for all comments. I've addressed some but will need a few days for some of the page numbers (and I'm off to a beer festival tonight).—

Sorry for the delay in getting the last couple of page numbers. I have reserved them at the local library but they are having to get them from another branch.—
Rodtalk06:43, 18 September 2014 (UTC)reply
Of course. Will do now. But that reminds me to invite you to think about reviewing some articles for GAN in future: the mechanics are quite straightforward. Tim riley talk18:06, 18 September 2014 (UTC)reply
What I believe is the final page number needed has now been added. Thanks for the invite to review but I tend to spend my "wikitime" on other work.—
