The moss here is mostly reclaimed as farmland. It shows a drainage ditch typical of this type of land. The picture was taken from the minor road that just enters the NE corner of the square (SJ 709 939) and shows the view to the SW, where the plantation of New Moss Wood has been created. This being part of the Red Rose Forest project (see www.redroseforest.co.uk for info.)
