A series of closely parallel linear banks are visible as earthworks on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. They correspond with a plot of orchard recorded in the Tithe Survey, and depicted as an orchard on subsequent maps. The banks are interpreted as planting ridges for orchard trees of post-medieval to 19th century origin, that may continue to be in partial use.
