Dist:0.4km<br/>The 25 x 28 metre "Mark II" telescope at Jodrell Bank. Despite its odd shape, representing something of a giant, deformed Pringle, the Mark II is routinely used either as a single telescope, or as part of the MERLIN or VLBI collaborations, which use telescopes over middle England (for MERLIN) or the entire globe (for VLBI) to get very high-resolution radio images of the cosmos.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Perhaps it's been ploughed out, but despite being marked on the maps, there's little sign on the ground of a tumulus in this wheatfield. The one to the east is invisible too.
