Narrow sinuous and curvilinear ditches, less than 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, on the combe slopes at Lower Combe, Bovey Tracey. The channels roughly follow the contours of the moderate and steep southeast facing combe slopes and occupy an area of circa 4.51 hectares. One of the earthworks corresponds with a water channel depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25-inch map. They are interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system which likely taps a stream to the northeast of the system.
