DescriptionBosworth Battlefield (Fenn Lane Farm).jpg
English: Looking west from Fox Covert Lane across the fields of Fenn Lane Farm (the farm is left, on the skyline). Fen Hole is approximately where the hedge line in the foreground is. The cortege carrying Richard III's remains visited the farm and soil was taken and placed in the king's grave when he was re-buried in Leicester Cathedral in 2015. The fields on either side of Fenn Lanes Roman road correspond to the flat plain which William Burton (writing in the early 1600s) described as the site of the battle: "fought in a large, flat, plaine, and spacious ground, three miles distant from [Bosworth], between the Towne of Shenton, Sutton [Cheney], Dadlington and Stoke [Golding]..," It was in the fields to either side of Fenn Lanes (the route of approach of Richmond's army) that the Battlefields Trust found the round shot and silver-gilt boar badge, identifying the true site of the battle. (Ambion Hill was the site of Richard III's camp, not the site of the battle).

Looking from Fox Covert Lane towards Fenn Lane. Fenn Lane Roman road was the route of approach of the Earl of Richmond to "Bosworth" battlefield (22nd August 1485). The mire in which Richard III was killed is almost certainly in this view. Fox Covert Lane leads from Shenton to both Stoke Golding and Higham on the Hill.
