Summary
Narrow curvilinear ditches interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system which had possibly passed out of use by the early to mid-20th century are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017.

Narrow curvilinear ditches, less than 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The visible earthwork channels occupy an area of circa 2.60 hectares either side of a combe and closely follow the contours of the east, west and northwest facing slopes. The earthworks are interpreted as the gutters of a possible 19th century catch meadow irrigation system which taps a spring fed stream that rises circa 440m to the southwest at Warmhill Farm. The system was not obviously in use in 1946 and had possibly fallen out of use by this time.
