Cropmarks which have formed over an infilled ditch of between medieval to 19th century date are visible on aerial photographs of 1947 onwards, to the northwest of Westlands Farm, Hemyock. The north to south aligned cropmark is slightly curvilinear in plan and is sited on and parallel to gentle east facing slope. The former ditch may represent a former field boundary of potential medieval date or perhaps a single gutter from a 19th century catch meadow system, possibly tapping the stream located to the immediate north. The cropmark ditch remains visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2014.
