Slag heap in the middle of a forest
Slag heap in the middle of a forest
A strange anomaly appears on 1:25K maps but not on 1:50K maps. In the middle of the forest, a small clearing is shown with an unnamed object in the centre of the clearing.

This turned out to be an old mine's slag heap around which no trees had been planted.
