Three curvilinear earthwork ditches, approximately one metre wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from the 1940s onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013. They broadly follow the contour along the side of a valley to the south-west of Whitley. They are interpreted as part of a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow system, supplied by the natural watercourses. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping and presumably fell out of use by the late-19th century.
