| Name: | Water channels southwest of Norton Farm, Bridgerule |

Summary
Narrow curvilinear channels are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2019. The earthworks are interpreted as 19th century water channels, or the possible gutters of a post-medieval to 19th century catch meadow irrigation system.

Narrow curvilinear ditches, less than 2m wide, are visible as earthworks on visualisations derived from lidar data captured in 2013 and on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2019.
The earthwork channels follow the contours of the northwest facing combe slope and occupy an area of circa 1 hectare. They are interpreted as 19th century water channels, or the possible gutters of a post-medieval or 19th century catch meadow irrigation system. They do not correspond with any features depicted in this location on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map, or later available historic maps so had possibly passed out of use by this time. The earthworks possibly truncate an earthwork bank of a medieval or post-medieval field boundary (MDV129745).
