Two north-east to south-west linear ditches or terraces are visible on aerial photographs of 1951 as parallel earthworks up to circa 4m wide and 40m long, following the contours on the south-east facing slopes of north-east of Cheston.
The visible earthworks do not correspond with any features depicted in this location on the 19th century maps available to the survey.
The features are interpreted as possibly the remains of former field boundaries or gutters of a catch meadow, potentially of post-medieval origin but removed from use by the late-19th century.
The ditches or terraces are not identifiable as earthworks on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2015 and have probably been levelled by modern landscaping.
