Three curvilinear earthwork ditches, approximately one metre wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and earthworks can be seen to partially survive on aerial photographs taken in 2020. They broadly follow the contour along the side of a valley to the south-west of Whitlocksworthy and 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.
