Aveland

Aveland
Large modern field, bare-soiled under a heavily clouded sky. It is September of a dry year, and the harvest has been in for over a month and the land prepared for next year. It looks bare and harrowed to a very smooth surface. Distant woodland frames the field.
Aveland Moot
There was once a moat in this field, now only visible on crop marks. It is thought to have been the meeting-place of the Aveland Wapentake.[1]
