N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Is this not the area around Grade hamlet at SW 710 141 - The parish for the Eastern Lizard is Grade-Ruan on the OS and the various old maps have GRADE overprinted across the area of the Grade / Grada church. However its a remarkably flat (only ranging between 60-80m) to rate the description of "Down" and I can't spot mention of a Down, Hill, Ridge etc around there on any of the maps! Mike d'A

Thanks for looking Mike, I did have a look at some maps but as you say couldn't find anything that looked like it might fit
