A drainage ditch of probable post medieval date is visible on historic aerial photographs as earthworks and was mapped as part of the Aylesbury Vale Aerial Investigation and Mapping project (EBC18604). Located approximately 700m east of the shrunken settlement at Moreton Farm, Dinton-with-Ford and Upton, and centred at SP 79731 09573.
