Padderbury Top This is the northwestern section of a Bronze Age hilltop enclosure.  It is set on the top of the highest hill for some way around.  It is a circular feature.  The level ground at the bottom of the rampart would originally have been a ditch.

Field of Clover This field appears to be growing mostly clover with a good mixture of grass and oilseed rape.  A coarse gravel has been laid at the field gate in order to stop tractors churning the ground near the gate.

Road to Wilton Farm Geographically speaking - the map shows a road should be here, so I went and there was a road - as now shown in the picture. The Wilton Farm is just round the corner - (where the top of a conifer is poking out of the hedge horizon as a marker.)
