Earthwork banks were visible to the north of Hayne House, Silverton on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2002. The banks, probably made to facilitate drainage, fell within the area of a former orchard potentially of post medieval to 20th century date, as depicted on the Tithe Map for Silverton and the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of the late 19th century. The orchard remained tree covered into the 1940s and was still lightly planted in 1967 but all trees had been removed and the plot turned over to agriculture by 2002.
