Note: This record was originally mapped using the current mapped point as well as a polygon delineating an area of approximately 1.5ha to the immediate south (centred TL 9484 0555) and bound on the north, south and west sides by the stream. This polygon has been removed and the point retained, and the location verified using information from the NRHE data transfer.
