The gently flowing water prevented the ground freezing in winter and encouraged early growth in spring, thereby providing extra feed for livestock, particularly important during the hungry gap of the March and April. The catch meadow covers an area of approximately 5.8 hectares of northwest and south facing slope. The system comprises a series of gutters which measure less than 2m in width and appear to tap a number of spring-fed streams that rise to the west and south ..." https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MDV105218&resourceID=104 .

Meadow by Weeke Hill
The B3205 runs behind the trees on the left. Not obvious except at larger sizes is a pond in the central shadows. The meadow was an orchard in the C19, according to https://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=MDV43999&resourceID=104 and indeed an 1880s map online.
