Why not? Admittedly, I’ve never been to Old Sarum, but it would tick two boxes for me.

Proof finally found that YOU started it:
Musket balls fired during ‘shot heard round the world’ battle found in Concord
Five musket balls from the event known as “The Shot Heard Round the World” on April 19, 1775 were discovered by archeologists in Concord.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?

Doesn’t matter who started it. It’s who finishes it that counts. In your case the French army and navy…

Largely true. However, I think the colonists would’ve eventually prevailed, regardless of French intervention. I liken the situation to the US experience in Vietnam

I had a sneak peek of that before they excavated it. It's on a great bit of the moor - near Fur Tor; the really remote one.Nice discovery on Dartmoor

Paul, our guide, was very excited about it even back then (a year or so ago). The peat preserved wood is amazing. How the hell anything organic remains intact from the Bronze Age is incredible.
He was talking about getting the army to help get the excavation equipment out to Cut Hill - it half-killed me just walking out there and back tbh.

Boy accidentally smashes 3,500-year-old jar on museum visitA 3,500-year-old jar has been accidentally smashed into pieces by a four-year-old boy during a trip to a museum in Israel.
The Hecht Museum in Haifa told the BBC the crockery dated back to the Bronze Age between 2200 and 1500BC - and was a rare artefact because it was so intact.
It had been on display near the entrance of the museum without glass, as the museum believes there is "special charm" in showing archaeological finds "without obstructions".
The boy's father, Alex, said his son "pulled the jar slightly" because he was "curious about what was inside", causing it to fall.

Driving round some lanes near St Eval, Cornwall I spotted a standing stone in a field that I hadn't known of before. It's The Long Stone, also known as the Music Water Stone or Eddystone - a standing stone of unworked white quartz 3.6m high, tapering from a 1.8m square base. The gate into the field was covered in brambles and barbed wire, so this is as close as I could get.

It's nearly as big as Men Gurta (St Breock Downs Monolith) which at 4.9m high and weighing 16.5 tonnes is meant to be the largest and heaviest standing stone in Cornwall.

The Nine Maidens, West Penwith on Friday night. Went there for lunar standstill moonrise / hoping for some aurora. The sunset beat the lot.
Carn Galva on the horizon that ska invita mentions upthread. It's a great spot, this one; obviously very important to our ancestors.
