Google maps KMZ file is  here

There is a distinct triangle of different vegetation in OL1  to  the top left with no, pine, but gorse and birch.  On the top right you have the tall pines, with various holes for poisoned areas and  other damage, and then a large grassy area below that ,down to the stream, which is wet and boggy.  There is little bracken in the centre of it.  The bracken is showing light brown here in spring.

The path along the boundary ditch appears to show some wet patches

at the bottom of the photo you may be able to see a firing ditch aiming at the poisoned areas.

It is difficult to be certain , but there look as if there are a couple of ponds on the south part of the grassy area towards the left hand end.  It is known that this is a low area, and shows signs of water flow.  there is also a pond named ' target pond' in the area which is not now identified.   Or are they just shadows? I would not like to say.
