The KRS was found near the top of a hill and I have never previously
heard the point of discovery discovered as either swampy or boggy. I
then suggested that you might be jumping to a conclusion here and gave
my reasons why. (see above)

If I may interject (without taking sides): whether the KRS was on a
hill or in a swamp doesn't really matter. What matters is that it was
embedded in soil, and this I know, there was this tree grown over it.
Soils in this area are largely acidic. Maybe not as acidic as a fully
developed swamp, but certainly not basic and far from neutral.
