Near the top of the hill the terrain is flattening. The field boundary hedge on the right is in the straight line that has been followed for a half mile. The hedge/fence straight ahead is along the Larkhall to Lesmahagow highway, originally built in the early 1800s as the Glasgow to Carlisle toll road.
Across that highway there is a narrow strip of land and then the motorway built in the 1970s. The narrow field is no more than 50 yards wide. The tallest trees seen in the distance and the mobile phone tower on the right edge of the picture are in that narrow field.
