Summary
Curvilinear earthworks of two ditches and a bank, interpreted as the remains of a possible 19th century catch meadow irrigation system or else 19th or 20th century trackways, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1989 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019.

Curvilinear earthworks of two ditches and a bank, between 2m and 4m wide, are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs taken in 1989 and visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2019. The parallel earthworks broadly follow the contours of the northeast facing combe slope. No features are depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping.
They are interpreted as either the remains of a 19th century catch meadow irrigation system, or else 19th or 20th century trackways. The southeast extent of the curvilinear bank truncates, and so post-dates, earthworks associated with 19th century extractive pits (MDV128420).
