(10/03/1994) At SX 5742 6410. Animal run survives as a 480m long narrow gully measuring 1.3m wide and 0.2m deep which leads to vermin trap SX56SE/368. A bank of material upcast during its construction lies on the downslope side and survives in places as a 1.4m wide and 0.3m high bank. The gulleys from pillow mound SX56SE/198/66 lead directly into this feature and at two places it merges into another linear gully (SX56SE/376).
It is considered likely that the animal run is earlier than pillow mounds MPP 140536a and c and this would suggest that pillow mound MPP 140536d is also earlier than these two mounds. It would also therefore appear that this animal run was replaced for part of its length by run SX56SE/376.
