A grid of earthwork ditches are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1948 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. The wider central ditch is perpendicular to parallel narrower ditches, resembling a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow, although they do not all seem to run along the contour, and could instead have been for drainage.
