Field, next to M25 This field next to the M25 has numerous curious looking pipes sticking vertically out of it.  On occasion, surveyors have been seen taking measurements around the pipes.  The pipes were inserted a few years ago as countermeasures when a serious landslip caused the field to subside substantially, partially obscuring the M25.
