Several roughly parallel curvilinear earthwork ditches are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1999 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They drop less than 5 metres over their 115 metre length and they are interpreted as the gutters of a catchmeadow system of post-medieval or 19th century date. The water source is not clear from the aerial imagery. No relevant features are depicted in this location on the late-19th century maps confirming that it probably went out of use before the 20th century.
