Summary

The earthwork remains of an orchard of probable post-medieval date were visible as banks to the south-west of Aunk on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2010. The orchard had probably passed from use in the first half of the 20th century.

The earthwork remains of an orchard of probable post-medieval date were visible as banks to the south-west of Aunk on aerial photographs of the 1940s onwards and digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2010. The earthwork banks corresponded to orchard planting depicted on the Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map. By 1946 the underlying earthwork banks are visible in a field largely bare of trees. The earthwork banks remained visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and 2010.
