Full Description

{1} Ditches, perhaps part of a former watermill. 2 almost parallel ditches 7m wide and up to 1.5m deep run from a sharp bend in the stream north west of the farm, in a curve parallel to the stream for a distance of 300m to a joint just south of the farm. The lower ditch then turns west and returns to the stream; the other continues south east for a further 100m before fading out.
