two curvilinear ditches are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 as earthworks 2m wide, and up to 113m long
on the north-east facing combe slopes overlooking the confluence of the River Lemon and a tributary from the south. The ditches are 32m to 50m apart, closely following the contours of the slope. The are interpreted as possible relict gutters, water channels associated with catch meadow irrigation, popular in the 19th to early 20th-century. The catch meadow system might have been supplied with water by the stream to the east. The earthworks appear unmaintained and under pasture in 1946 and had therefore probably been out of use for some time.
