(10/03/1994) At SX 5742 6410. Animal run survives as a 480m long narrow gully measuring 1.5m wide and 0.3m 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 1.5m wide and 0.4m high bank. The gulleys from pillow mounds (subsheets 66 + 58) lead directly into this feature and at two places it merges into another linear gully (SX56SE/364). It is considered likely that the animal run is more recent than gully SX56SE/364 because whilst it is clearly contemporary with the two pillow mounds, gully SX56SE/364 is earlier than the pillow mounds.
