Narrow curvilinear ditches, less than 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and 2016. The earthwork channels follow the contours of the southeast facing combe slope and occupy an area of circa 0.31 hectares. They are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century water channels or the gutters of a catch meadow irrigation system which tapped a spring-fed stream that rises circa 100m to the northeast.
No features are depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping, and the water channels or catch meadow presumably fell out of use by the late-19th century.
