Size and date check out. Well referenced to reliable sources. Spot checks indicate close paraphrasing not a concern. Hook fact cited. Image properly licenced. QPQ done. Should be good to go. -

Bronze Age -- dating
Main article: Bronze Age Britain : In Great Britain, the Bronze Age is considered to have been the period from around 2100 to 750 BC. Therefore, what do the sources indicate for these stones? 'Late' for Briton looks to be around 900-750 BC. Article should be more precise - as for the rest of Europe the Age ends circa 1200 BC. (

From the source in question, page 278: "However, the radiocarbon dates – 2865±50 uncal BP (AA–49296; 1220–900 cal BC); 2855±45 (AA–49297; 1210–1170 or 1160–890 cal BC) – are anomalous, falling in the Late Bronze Age (Bradley 2005, 101–2)"

I'll add the word "anomalous", hopefully that fixes it.
