Flooded field beside A37 Taken close to the drive to Rushley Farm. The ground undulates slightly in this square, and I imagine this field is often flooded. A drain runs along the far side of it and across the A37, flowing left towards the Bearley Brook. At about 11.30 am, the sheet of water was still largely covered in ice.

The A37 is here following the line of a Roman road from Dorchester to Ilchester.
