Narrow curvilinear 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. The visible channels are situated either side of a combe and closely follow the southeast, northwest and southwest facing slopes. They are interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system which possibly taps a spring-fed water course that rises circa 240m to the northeast. The gutters truncate the earthwork banks of possible medieval strip lynchets (MDV125228).
