Summary
Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1945 onwards and on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, are interpreted as the gutters of a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow which went out of use by the late-19th century.

Two curvilinear earthwork ditches, approximately a metre wide, are visible on west facing slopes north of Gabber Farm, on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on visualisations of lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017. They broadly follow the contour, and are interpreted as the gutters of a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow. No features are depicted in this location on the available historic maps and any watermeadow in this location is likely to have fallen out of use by the late-19th century.
