Buttington Oak
edit- ... that the Buttington Oak, said to have been planted to commemorate the 893 Battle of Buttington, fell in February 2018? "One of the oldest trees in Wales which was probably planted 1,000 years ago as a boundary marker along Offa's Dyke has fallen down ... he said it would have been planted by local people to mark the site of the Battle of Buttington"
- ALT1:... that the Buttington Oak may have been planted to commemorate a 9th-century battle and been used to make weapons? "he said it would have been planted by local people to mark the site of the Battle of Buttington" "This would have been a working tree over the years, providing the local community with wood for weapons"

Moved to mainspace by Dumelow (talk). Self-nominated at 03:01, 20 February 2018 (UTC).
By my count article is just over 1600 characters with spaces so is long enough. Moved to mainspace on the 20th so it's also new enough. NPOV and no obvious copyvio. I added a comma to the primary hook to close out the paranthetical expression. Source is true and correct and inline cited. Hook is A+ interesting (actually the entire article is). No image.
