Narrow, sinuous earthwork ditches, typically less than 2m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1986 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks closely follow the contours of the east facing combe slopes and are interpreted as 19th century water channels, possibly of a catch meadow irrigation system.
