Have you looked at shielded twisted pair or optical fiber for that run? I have a similar project planned but at the moment I’m not looking forward to trenching the cable into the ground so it hasn’t moved forward yet.

I didn’t trench mine as I anticipated it might not be the ideal solution… plus it goes up a 45 degree hill, threads past cliffs, etc. - ran it inside a little 10mm slitted duct, at least, to protect it from friction, UV, and curious teeth.
I need it to be able to deliver PoE, which is why I went for Ethernet - but yeah, probably going to replace it with STP, although not sure that’s going to stop lightning induction in the earth/shielding. Other option is splashing out for SWA STP, which should definitely do the job.
For the other run, where I don’t need power, I’m using 802.11n with a pair of Yagis to go about a kilometre. No problems except the usual headaches around layers and discovery a Wi-Fi bridge provides.
