Drumlin slope measurements

The slope on the east side of the drumlin is initially steep, at 10 sloping upwards. The gradient
of the slope tapers off quickly and begins to slope in the opposite direction close to the west
side. This results in the east end being slightly sheltered by the higher ground and the west end
getting the brunt of the salt-laden winds.
