Narrow curvilinear ditches are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken between 1948 and 1967, on a hillslope just south of Pottles Farm. Covering approximately 1.5 hectares, they are broadly parallel to the contour dropping less than 5 metres over a length of at least 350 metres. They are interpreted as catchmeadow gutters of probable 19th century date, apparently taken off a natural watercourse along the combe bottom to the west. They are not visible on the later available aerial photographs and may have been levelled.
