For many hours they rode on through the meads and riverlands. Often the grass was so high that it reached above the knees of the riders, and their steeds seemed to be swimming in a grey-green sea.

Overhead plan:
The black outlines represent two residential houses and one (diagonal) barn. The Green field outside the wall represents pasture. The light green represents a small garden area, which struggles in this overly wet soil. The yellow outline shows a warehouse under construction, blue is a well, and brown is an outhouse. The red shows a wall over a majority of which a hedge has been grown. The pink represent charcoal production sites. This homestead specializes in the production of charcoal, their stock being sold to Ealdsele and Entwade Town.
