They are a bit small for oxbows / meanders. And I'd expect to see them all around the area if they were. They seem local to this small patch though.
I think the story becomes clearer when you look in Bing. There has been a lot of earth moving in the area to deal with flooding and draining. See the area just to the NW. The plain just to the east has a few of the trenches and they look like they are the result of earth removal, probably to build the mounds and mini-dams in the channel to the NW.
