A catch meadow of probable post-medieval to 20th century date is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as a series of roughly parallel curvilinear ditches visible as subtle earthworks closely following the contours of the west facing slopes west of Bude Farm.
The gutters were not visible on images derived from aerial photographs of 2016 but very subtle earthworks visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014 indicate that the gutters have not been entirely levelled
