1985 or earlier. From West Harling Heath.

See (S1).
J.J. Wymer (NAU) 16 December 1985.

Note only grid reference given is TL 95 84. This is not really West Harling Heath but on the 1:50,000 map from which reference was probably taken, it appears to be part of it. But both the 'Heath' and area at grid reference have been afforested for at least 60 years. So how was it found?
E. Rose (NAU), 16 December 1985.
