Register or Login to view.I've said so often in this thread that battlements were among the most common things to be changed/renovated on a building, so they should always be regarded with suspicion. If a building has swallowtail merlons now, it is absolutely not certain that it had those originally.

Of course.

With varying degrees of confidence.

It does rather seem what you are suggesting is an "unresearched" approach. If someone has a suggestion which has not been considered before and is possible then putting on a list , if not a spreadsheet, is useful. For one, then it can be easily checked if that example has been investigated or excluded before. It is not necessary to put them on the map if you have your reservations.

If they are so easy to find on a Google Search why it is so easy then to find examples not mentioned on this thread?

I will try to date the suggestions that I have listed as much as is reasonably possible. Though I have had a good go at some of them already.
