Source project MID-COTTAM: Cottam, Nottinghamshire. Cottam in Nottinghamshire, not Cottam near Preston. Locality representative point only; no site coordinate inferred.
Map points are not surveyed parcel boundaries or electricity connection nodes. The stage is a source-based interpretation at the evidence cutoff, not a current-status check.
