Prior to the
main period of fieldwork, three survey points were established near key
locations within the Holton Lee estate. Previous attempts earlier
in May had not been successful due to poor satellite coverage and a lack
of valid OS benchmarks in the vicinity.
The GPS reference station was set-up at SY955575916450. To establish the local co-ordinates and perform the transform, the rover was set-up over the boundary stone at the entrance to the Holton Lee driveway. This was at SY951469920425, at an elevation of 6.11 mOD. |

Pt 01
The GPS rover
was taken to the enclosure. A permanent survey marker was sited and
labelled HLP00:01. Two plastic orange pegs were each located 20 m
and 40 m due west from the survey peg to act as baseline markers for the
forthcoming geophysical survey and future grid layout.

Pt 02
It was not possible to locate a survey point on 'The Clump' as the tree cover obscured the GPS from the satellites. Therefore a suitable point was chosen in the adjoining field (occupied by cows and bulls) and marked with a permanent survey peg as HLP00:02. Orange pegs were located 20 m south and 20 m north of the peg to set-up a baseline. |

Pt 03
To facilitate the future programme of coring across the littoral, a survey point was established, marked by a permanent marker near the high point of the slope; it was labelled HLP00:03.
