These trees seem to have been along the course of a drain or stream, which has been eliminated, possibly by diverting it round the northern margin of the enlarged field. Making one field from several here has resulted in this field of wheat having a shape like one of the more complicated jigsaw pieces, with no less than eleven roughly right-angled corners, plus one sinuous side which could be considered as containing a twelfth corner.
