Three curvilinear earthwork ditches, approximately one metre wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1945 on north facing slopes south of Collacott. They broadly follow the contour, dropping less than 10 metres across a visible length of 150 metres. They are interpreted as part of a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow system, though the water source is not clear from the available imagery. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping and presumably fell out of use by the late-19th century.
