The is the sixth (and penultimate) list of
Scheduled monuments in Somerset. It follows the format of the previous lists but is considerably larger, particularly in the number of
bowl barrows,
cairns,
stone rows and
standing stones. All entries are referenced and images have been provided where suitably licenced pictures are available. Any comments appreciated. —

- Quick comments from

- Again there is a mix of metric (imperial) and imperial (metric) for units, which I think would benefit from one consistent format.
- I know you favour keeping the EH titles, but "Alderman's Barrow at N of Almsworthy Common" doesn't make grammatical sense to me?
- As you know I have already spilt Somerset into 7 lists and can't see how to split it further. There is one more to come which is slightly longer than this one.—

- Couple of comments from
Keith D
- There appears to be a problem with the linkage to note a.
- With the split of English Heritage in April may be a good idea to change over the URLs and name to the Historic England site which is already live. Suggest using {{
NHLE}} for the references to pick up the new web site and name as this future proofs against any further changes as it keeps all instances of web site in one place.
- I will look at this tomorrow, however as all the links still work I may be able to do a global find & replace English Heritage to Historic England, rather than having to reformat hundreds of refs.—

Support – This page maintains the high standard of its predecessors. It is formidably referenced, clear, doubtless comprehensive, and meets all the FL criteria, in my view. (Speaking of "view", the table fits less well on one of my screens than on my other two, but with a hundred-and-one different varieties of screen in use these days, I suppose that is inevitable, and is certainly not something that influences my support.)

Comments from Noswall59
A few points, more may follow:
- Firstly, I am happy that this is comprehensive ;)
- The notes ought to be consistent or split into a separate subsection - the first one is "a", but the others are "note x".
-
Like I say, more will follow, —

- OK but I feel I should let you, any others willing to make comments, and the FLC deleagtes know I will be away from 3-13 April and will not have any access to respond to any comments. I will deal with them (as best I can) as soon as I return.—

Hi Rod, apologies for not getting back to you on this - I've been busy this week and it slipped my mind. I've read through the lead and I can't fault the prose. I can also vouch for its comprehensiveness, but I do not have the resources around me or local expertise to check every entry in the list for accuracy, although, as usual, I imagine there are no major issues. As such I am willing to support on prose. And, as Tim suggests below, it is a shame more counties don't have people like you, prepared to write up so much about their local history. I hope you enjoyed your break, regards, —

Support – I could have sworn I'd added my support already (getting aged and forgetful), and hasten to do so now. This is a worthy companion to its predecessors, and fully meets the FL criteria. Other counties may well sigh in vain for their own Rodw to write up their monuments so well.

- Thanks but I think you have already supported (2 April) so I don't think it can be counted twice.—

- Aargh! I really am getting senile. So sorry! Still (and note my surname) remember the old Irish maxim, "Vote early, vote often". Apologies both to Rod and to the FL coordinators (who know me well enough to treat me very kindly).

Support I don't think I've previously supported it though. Good job!♦
