Scene Description: Source caption: "Présente dans l'Album de Croÿ XVI, l'église d'Hamelincourt et son clocher « fortifié » domine un vaste plateau. Sur la gravure on aperçoit deux passants couverts de riches vêtements qui se rencontrent sur le chemin de Courcelles à Croisilles en surplomb, deux autres plus courbés sous l'effort, en tenue de travail sur le chemin de Moyenneville. A droite les toits de la ferme de l'abbaye et les cheminées du château. Au premier plan, serait-ce le hameau de Lamisol ?"
