A T-shaped ditch or channel is visible on lidar derived images and digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2016 as an earthwork 11m wide and 80m long to the west of Chiverstone Farm, Kenton. The visible earthwork might correspond to a former section of leat or water channel depicted forming the northern boundary of an orchard on the Tithe Map for Kenton in this approximate location. The leat has been rerouted to its current location south of the extended orchard, on the Ordnance Survey First Edition Map.
