Four sinuous single ditches run parallel with one another, along the contours that follow the SW slope of a field south of West Satterleigh. The ditches are likely to be terraces in a catch meadow system. They are visible on aerial photographs (p1) and have been digitally plotted as part of the National Mapping Programme.
