Curvilinear ditches are identifiable as earthworks on south-east facing combe slopes east of Woodlands Farm, Teignmouth, on aerial photographs of 1946. The earthworks closely follow the contours, are roughly parallel, measure 2 to 3m wide and spaced circa 8 to 12m apart.
The earthworks are interpreted as the remains of a catch meadow, a form of water meadow irrigation most popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries but which originated in the medieval period.
The ditches remain visible as slight earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.
