The watercourses and sluices depicted on historic maps and visible as earthworks on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017 in the River Kenn valley, north-west of Willsworthy Farm, are interpreted as drainage ditches of probable 19th centiry date, not evidence of a bedwork water meadow.
