commented on Magnetic Hill
if you believe there to be a magnetic anomaly, just use two plumb lines, one made of iron and one made of stone. They would hang at different angles if a strong magnetic field was acting horizontally. however, if you think there is a gravitational anomaly plumb lines and levels cannot be relied on. magnetic anomalies are never that strong anyway, and never the cause, so i have read. so agreeing with the other two comments, you have yourself an optical illusion.
