Environment Agency WMS, 2022, Environment Agency LIDAR Composite DSM 2022 - 1m Last return (Cartographic). SDV365448.

Visible on the lidar data; note correct location as the earlier (1985) aerial project has recorded all sites in the locality to the north-east of their location likely due to the inaccurate georeferencing of the RAF photographs.
