Several curvilinear earthwork ditches, less than 2 metres wide, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2013, on the valley slopes south of Tuell. They broadly follow the contour, dropping less than 5 metres over a visible length of approximately 200 metres. They are interpreted as the gutters of a post-medieval or 19th century catchmeadow, with the water supply taken from the watercourse that corresponds with the parish boundary. No features are depicted on the exact locations of the earthworks on the late-19th century OS maps, and they are likely to have gone out of use by this date. Further possible ditches are visible to the east, though they seem to partly correspond to modern trackways, and have not been transcribed.
