Narrow linear and sinuous ditches less than 2m wide are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, at Otter Court, Ilsington. The visible earthwork channels roughly follow the contours of the southwest and southeast facing combe slopes and occupy an area of circa 7.35 hectares. They are interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system which had likely passed out of use by the early-mid 20th century.
