Footpath towards Lower Lanham Difficult to see the line of the footpath in this recently ploughed field. But the footpath sign is accurate; it heads north from the minor road where we are standing across the field to the left end of the band of trees on the far side. These trees run south-east to north-west across the middle right of the square.

Barn next to Oxdrove Way The Oxdrove Way (a Hampshire County Council long-distance path) cuts across the extreme north-west corner of the square. This barn is set back a little from the path (which is out of sight behind the photographer. The track from the right is from a field to the south of the barn. To the left (east) of the barn, more farmland. In the middle distance can be seen a depression in the field with bushes. This is marked on 1:25K maps as pit (dis) at SU 613358. There are many in this area.

Footpath from Bighton Wood In the north-western part of the square, this footpath leaves Bighton Wood and follows the fence-line north-east. Officially on the left of the fence, it is becoming better established on the right, as there are fewer field boundaries and therefore fewer stiles to cross. The field on the right is sheep pasture, on the left recently ploughed for arable.
