- Newly created article, article over 1500 charatcers, QPQ done, article follows guidelines, well cited and interesting hook. RRD (talk) 05:32, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: The hook facts are mentioned in the single sentence but uncited lead, but not elsewhere. The last sentence in the "Excavation" section is uncited and the article gives the impression of being unfinished because it does not indicate what was found during the excavations nor why it is deduced that a high-status individual was buried in the barrow.

- Cwmhiraeth, I've added some more to the article (and appropriate citations); I'll eventually add more, but I believe the current additions addresses the points that you raise above. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:59, 27 July 2019 (UTC
