(03/02/1988) The linear feature, depicted on the RCHM APP transcription (1985), between SX 61607431 and SX 61537429, cannot be identified on the ground. It is probably a vegetation mark rather than a bank submerged under the peat layer.
The linear bank extending between SX 61607431 and SX 61667420 is described on the NMR report No SX 67 SW 6. The short SE-extension between SX 61667420 and SX 61687418 does not exist on the ground.
