Two curvilinear ditches, circa two metres in width, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1969 and 2010 and partly on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They are aligned approximately along the contour, dropping less than 5 metres across a 450 metre length and covering circa 5 hectares. They, and several nearby sluices, are depicted on the late-19th century OS maps, and are interpreted as catchmeadow gutters of post-medieval to 19th century date. The source of the water appears to have been natural watercourses diverted for distribution across the surrounding land. As they are depicted on historic mapping no transcription has been made of this feature.
