Several narrow curvilinear earthwork ditches are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1947 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. They appear to be taken off a natural watercourse at circa SY2926599522 and split into three at circa SY2929299493 and possibly a further point. They run downslope then change orientation to flow east and broadly along the contour and are tentatively interpreted as the field gutters of a catchmeadow system of post-medieval or 19th century date. No features are depicted in this location on the available historic mapping and they may have fallen out of use by the late-19th century.
