Dist:0.1km<br/>A cereal crop is growing in the field in the foreground. The mast, which is not marked on the map, may be a recently-erected wind mast which is installed in potential wind farm sites in order to obtain more accurate information about wind speed and so on. Thanks to Evelyn Simak for suggesting description.

Dist:0.8km<br/>At the end of Crab Lane the fields seemingly go on uninterrupted for ever but there are several drains criss-crossing the landscape. On the horizon is Spinney Farm in [[TF2246]]. The boundary between the featured square and [[TF1945]] runs just to the right of the tractor trail on the far right.

Dist:0.9km<br/>This farm track ends in a T-junction with a similar track that crosses from left to right just beneath the horizon: see [[782418]] and [[782455]]. The grid boundary runs along the right edge of the track according to the OS 1:25,000 scale map.

Dist:1.3km north<br/>A cereal crop is growing in the field in the foreground. The small cluster of trees on the right may be a windbreak. Thanks to Evelyn Simak for suggesting description.

Dist:1.4km northwest<br/>Practising for the Olympics maybe. It is common to see the flood banks in the Fens to be fenced as long narrow pastures. These sheep were grazing along the top of the flood bank that contains Head Dike, a major drainage channel across South Kyme and Heckington Fens. The public footpath marked on the maps is meant to run along the bank.
