Narrow curvilinear ditches less than 2m wide are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1949 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, south of Rentor, Bickington. The channels roughly follow the contours of the south facing combe slopes and occupy an area of circa 0.80 hectares. They are interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system which had likely passed out of use by the mid-20 century.
