MMO856 - Post-medieval water meadow north of New Bridge (Monument)

A system of post-medieval field gutters, visible on aerial photographs, probably form part of a water meadow, known locally as a catch meadow irrigation system. Four roughly parallel ditches, extend along the contour on a west facing slope overlooking the river Barle. They are centred at SS 9240 2647.
