An earthwork cutting of uncertain date is visible on aerial photographs of 1948 onwards, to the northeast of Batten’s Farm. The linear earthwork is northeast to southwest aligned and has been cut into gentle to moderate northeast facing slope, possible with a terraced area on its eastern side. The function of the cutting is uncertain, although appears to be associated with the other earthworks described elsewhere in this record of platforms for spring-fed pools for a mill. This earthwork has therefore been accordingly appended to this monument record. The earthwork cutting is partly visible on digital images captured in 2010.
