Narrow curvilinear and sinuous 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. The channels roughly follow the contours of the northeast facing combe slopes and are interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system.
