Is this the worst news report ever written?
#12
The Daily Mail/Fail/Heil article just seems to be treating the Gask Ridge defensive line as being something new and revolutionary in archaeology, whereas in reality the presence of glen-blocking forts in Scotland has been known about for sometime. The last annual report from TRGP was from 2010 apparently, and I think the Mail article was taken pretty much directly from that? Overall I think the only major problem is directly comparing land and access denial to a monumental structure.

Woolliscroft and Hoffmann are pretty well known Wall scholars, so I doubt the fault for serious factual errors lies with them.

(Edit: Yay, I can post again!)
