Two narrow curvilinear ditches, less than 2m wide and parallel to the northwest facing slope, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and partly on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013. The earthworks do not correspond with any curvilinear features in this exact location on the available historic mapping, although a water course is shown in proximity to the south on the late First Edition Ordnance Survey map. They are interpreted as 19th century water channels, possibly of a catch meadow irrigation system which tapped a spring-fed stream that rises circa 530m to the southwest.
