A series of earthwork banks of probable post-medieval to 19th century date are visible on aerial photographs of 1971 and on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2016, to the west of Hoemoor Farm. The linear earthworks, which are northwest to southeast aligned and occupy an area of approximately 0.88 hectares of southeast facing slope, may represent the remains of agricultural improvement, or represent the site of a former orchard, the banks providing improved drainage and increased soil depth for the fruit trees.
