A former water channel was visible as an earthwork ditch circa 500 metres long on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards on the southern bank of the River Culm, north-west of Columbjohn Wood. The ditch appeared to tap the river at circa SS96450064 and returned to the river at circa SS96030049. The function of the water channel is unknown, but it may have been a leat for a former mill or a very simple and small scale catch meadow. It does not correspond with any water channels depicted on the Tithe Map for Broadclyst and had therefore probably passed out of use prior to the 1840s.
