A small area of earthwork banks, potentially of post-medieval to 19th century date, was visible as on aerial photographs of the 1960s, to the south and west of Woodhayes Copse, Broadclyst. It is possible the banks are former orchard tree planting banks made to facilitate drainage, although they do not correspond with any orchards depicted on the Tithe Map for Broadclyst or the Ordnance Survey first edition 25 inch map, and their location on a moderate slope overlooking the Culm valley might make the need for further drainage unlikely. The earthwork banks cannot be seen on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in 2002 and have probably been levelled.
