Two dark curvilinear cropmarks, circa 1.5 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 2010 and 2018. They broadly follow the contour, dropping only a few metres over a viible 60 metre length. The cropmarks are irregular in parts and so are tentatively interpreted as having formed over the remains of the infilled gutters of a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow system. No features are depicted in this location on the late-19th century mapping indicating that any catchmeadow in this location went out of use by this date.
