Narrow and parallel earthwork banks were visible on aerial photographs of 1946 to the south and west of Higher Weaver Farm. It is probable that they were the remains of a former orchard of probable post medieval date. No corresponding orchard is depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25inch map and it is therefore likely that any orchard in this field had passed out of use prior to the 1880s. The earthwork banks are not visible on more recent aerial photographs and have probably been levelled.
