The recent very wet weather has left a lot of standing water in the fields and the long parallel pools on this field between Astrope Lane and the original Long Marston Church Image clearly show the ridges. It should be realized that ridge and furrow cultivation on such flat and easily waterlogged ground help with the drainage.
