A narrow curvilinear ditch, less than 2m wide, is visible as an earthwork on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The earthwork channels follow the contours of the southwest facing combe slope and is interpreted as a possible 19th century water channel. The earthwork is not visible on the available aerial imagery after 1946 and has possibly since been levelled.
