Taken from the start of the lane at a point where five routes converge, though one is now just a public footpath blocked by crops.

Footpath to Highwood

Looking from a junction of five roads and paths, one of the paths goes across this field - now ploughed up and planted. Lying on the ground is the remains of a 3" X 3" wooden post - very similar to those indicating a public footpath.
