Ditched rectilinear features to the southeast of Up Cerne are visible as earthworks on aerial photographs. The features are associated with a series of sluices recorded on the OS 1st Edition map and are considered likely to be part of a post medieval water meadow. They were digitally plotted during the Dorset Upper Cerne and Piddle AIM project.
