"It is believed to be an ancient fortification from the iron ages, possibly the 5th or 6th centuries BC." Does "it" refer to Higger Tor or Carl Wark? Theropod-X (talk) 22:54, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's definitely Carl Wark that is the iron age fort; I'll see if I can find a reference. Also, South Yorkshire isn't a county but area defined by a now defunct local authority. Not sure that saying it's in Yorkshire is very helpful; probably better to say it is within Sheffield. CuddlySteve (talk) 20:08, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm taking off the reference to the iron age fort as that is Carl Walk (http://www.peakdistrictinformation.com/visits/carlwark.php). CuddlySteve (talk) 20:27, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What can you write about a pile of rocks to make it more than a stub? I think this needs in-lining in something else . CuddlySteve (talk) 05:03, 16 April 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by CuddlySteve (talk • contribs)

Some articles will probably always remain stubs or not much more than that, but that doesn't mean they don't have worth in their own right. And I think that if someone had the inclination, research on the web and in old bookshops could reveal enough information about this particular pile of rocks, to enable considerable expansion of the article...

Etymology ?[edit]

What a name! Which language does it come from? If you take Semitic, you get what you see: rock + band. and then Carl Wark likewise is easy - place + long-drawn-out. 11:35, 30 September 2022 (UTC) 104.151.62.50 (talk) 11:35, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
