A curvilinear earthwork ditch, less than 2 metres wide, is visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2007 and 2013, on a south-west facing slope west of Wonwood. It drops less than 5 metres in height over a visible length of approximately 50 metres, and is tentatively interpreted as the remains of a catchmeadow gutter, taken off the natural watercourse at SX4251877304. No features are depicted in this location on the available historic mapping, suggesting that any watermeadow here went out of use by the late-19th century.
