Field by the A303 And by The Buck services, from the edge of which this was taken. The mast is shown more clearly in <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4071515">SU4143 : Mobile phone mast hiding in the countryside</a>. The field is crossed by Longparish footpath 21. Its crop, possibly of winter wheat, is having a damp time of it. But things look worse because I accidentally switched the speed on the camera from Auto to 1/4000, and have just spent a while trying to compensate for this. Sorry!

Field next to the Andyke The Andyke, marked by the line of trees across the top of this field, is a large ditch and dyke ancient monument which may be the main defensive feature of what was once an iron age promontory fort, although the site has never been fully archaeologically studied. The A303 which runs behind the trees on the left, breaches the northern end of this 530 m long earthwork. The field in this photo is planted with stubble swede.
