In Ozleworth Bottom

This is looking past a benchmark ST8092 : Benchmark in Ozleworth Bottom on the right hand of two posts at the eastern end of Ozleworth Bottom to a flat area (extending into the next square east) that looks as if it was an area of water at some time in the recent past. Unlike a more obvious benchmark close-by ST8092 : Benchmark by a track, this one has recently been made more accessible by the absence of trees cut down because of ash dieback.
