Trowlesworthy Warren (SX 5710 6440). Haynes' vermin trap no.37. A weak trap interrupting ancient boundary wall. Very ill-defined.
NB: Haynes gives this trap exactly the same grid reference at trap 30, although descriptions differ. There appears to be a level of inaccuracy that makes it hard to confirm sites; this is one of those (Richards, A. F., 09/03/2020).

No traps shown on the survey data for this part of the warren; two are shown 100m and 120m north-eastwards against the wall but it is not clear whether either of these is the trap referred to by Haynes (Richards, A. F., 09/03/2020).

Authors identify a possible feature at SX 57106 64257; 'stones not too obvious - easily missed'.
NB: not sure if this is Haynes' trap 37 (Richards, A. F., 09/03/2020).
