Several curvilinear earthwork ditches, approximately one metre wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured in 2017. They broadly follow the contour along the side of a valley to the west of Trendwell and are interpreted as part of a catchmeadow system, supplied by natural watercourses north of Trendwell and north-west of Horswell House. One of the earthworks corresponds to a leat depicted on the late-19th century mapping, and the system is presumably 19th century in date.
