Maybe some sort of geological survey?

perhaps looking for more funding 

mandatory archaeological or more likely geographical survey by the looks of it  ,
surveying the geology for potential opencast gravel quarry for building  materials

I know its making a bloody mess .  That section isn't as advanced as some other bits round here, but thats the only bit the drone can reach with me hanging out of the bedroom window.

So survey work .  Bit late in the day if the ground aint suitable Still, its only (our) money.
