Narrow curvilinear ditches, less than 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken from 1945 onwards and on visualisations derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. The earthwork channels closely follow the contours of the combe slopes and occupy an area of circa 15.5 hectares, from Luson in the north, to Henna Mill in the southwest and Borough Farm in the southeast. They are interpreted as the gutters of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system.
