just added some pics and updated the ngr
looks like several entries for the same place
black ox and high loft are bits of great masson and masson hill is the wrong name for the same place
other bits of great masson are crichman, beck and carding nestus but that one is mostly the show mine

This is something that's been discussed on the site several times and never been fully resolved - how should we deal with sites that historically have been several independent entities, should there be a single entry under the modern/generally used name or should each of the original parts be a separate entry?

I think the possibility of an alternate names field has been raised in the past, and I personally think the best way forward would be to have the current overall name for a site as the main entry, with older names or component parts of the site named as alternative names.
