Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1967 onwards, at Burnhaies. The site of the orchard is first listed on the Bradninch parish tithe apportionment of approximately 1838-48 and is symbolised on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. Aerial photographs of 1946 show that the orchard is predominately covered with fruit trees, although by 1967 these have been largely grubbed up, leaving a series of linear northeast to southwest aligned banks, on which the fruit trees were established, visible. These surviving banks are visible to the west of an extant field boundary and occupy an area of approximately 0.75 hectares of gentle east sloping ground. A second, smaller area of possible orchard banks lie approximately 50m to the southwest, although these appear to be truncated by a series of possible perpendicular aligned drainage ditches and were not clearly visible on aerial photographs. The orchard banks largely survive as a series of subtle earthwork banks on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2010 and from Lidar data captured during 2005 and 2012.
