Summary
A ditch, possibly a leat or simple catch meadow of 19th to early 20th century date, is visible on aerial photographs of 1946 as an earthwork closely following the contours of the north-west facing combe slope to the north of Lixton Farm, Aveton Gifford. The ditch is not identifiable on more recent images available to the survey and has probably been levelled.
