Two curvilinear ditches, circa one metre in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1969 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They are clearly defined earthworks aligned approximately along the contour, dropping less than 5 metres across a 130 metre length, and interpreted as catchmeadow gutters of probable 19th century date. The source of the water is not clear from the available imagery, but could have been a natural watercourse diverted for distribution across the surrounding land.
