Two parallel and sinuous earthwork ditches, circa 2.5m wide and north to south aligned are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2017, to the south of Stickwick Farm, Bovey Tracey. The earthworks closely follow the contours of the southwest facing combe slope and are interpreted as water channels of a possible 19th century catch meadow system.
