A curvilinear cropmark, approximately one metre wide, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947 and 1955. It broadly follows the contour along the side of a valley, dropping less than 5 metres over a visible extent of circa 175 metres. It is interpreted as the gutter of a post-medieval catchmeadow, sing a natural water source. No features are depicted in this exact location on the available historic mapping, and any catchmeadow here presumably fell out of use by the late-19th century. It may since have been levelled.
