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.

Blegen, for example has it that the KRS was discovered on a knoll
"above swampy ground."

See - when provoked, you can provide a source. Do you really think
that this is evidence that the knoll itself is boggy? I very much
doubt that it is.


To use your own tactics: so you don't know yourself.

Of course I don't know, but if I excercised my common sense I would
not conclude that a hill of glacial till would be boggy.
