The ground in the immediate vicinity is quite level but in the neighborhood is rolling There is a small mound not represented in this sketch which should be in the original [illegible] by [Me?]. It is 10 links in diameter (a very true circle) 6 to 10 inches high and located under the left wing as I have marked on your diagram.
