Followers of Time Team will recognise this :)
Nice drawings of some ancient site which when reopened bears no relation to real 
remains ...

Am I detecting something of a pattern here ... if material is inaccurate or 
unsubstantiated, then fine it needs to be removed. The git version control is 
not ideal for tracking this type of update but it does at least retain the 
history of corrections and the commit message should explain the detail. But in 
keeping what remains, can we at least agree that the quality of the material is 
heading in the right direction?
