Test Pit 1: Linear Feature Field

Test Pit 1 was chosen as several features had been seen in drone footage. The field is undeveloped as far as the eye can see, although there are enticing features in terms of undulating land and a raised path through it.

Drone footage in the heatwave of 2026 shows a broken linear feature that seems to line up with a linear feature in the adjacent field.
