Hello, Is that true though for the hills with details in the survey column, they have been measured with the instruments listed, eg. Abney level, Leica Disto D510, etc. If they don't have anything recorded in the survey column you would have to presume they are derived from OS mapping as there is no evidence to the contrary. Although does the survey equipment only record height or also position?
