Looking down to Home Bottom The trail down the hill is where I came up. There is no public route, I think I planned to come up on the other side of the hedge, which is CRoW access downland, but couldn&#039;t find a way into the field.

River Ouse, east bank On a part of the river made as a bypass to a long loop off to the east. The work is believed to have been done in the 1790s, with later further raising of the bank. In this 2011 view, bank repair seems prudent - was it done?

Ruin in meadow near River Ouse Part of a linear set of buildings and foundations extending in all to a length of about 180 m. About 50 m of this extends as foundations to the left of this part. To the far right, off this view, is about 40 m of foundations. Just showing on the right is a ruined massive brick structure, whose axis is curiously slightly offset from the axis of the rest. The brick part is better seen in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7045181">TQ4402 : Brick ruin in meadow near River Ouse</a>. All or some first appeared on maps as a ruin, after WWII. The ruinous state seems to have been reached remarkably quickly. Purpose unknown.
