Two narrow and sinuous earthwork ditches, less than 2m wide, are visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthworks closely follow the contours of the northwest facing slope at the head of a combe and are interpreted as 19th century water channels, possibly of a catch meadow irrigation system.
