A single curvilinear earthwork ditch, less than 2m wide and parallel to the east facing combe slope, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 1947. It is interpreted as a 19th century water channel, possibly associated with a catch meadow irrigation system recorded to the south (MDV127938). The earthwork is not visible on the available aerial imagery after 1947 and has probably since been levelled.
