Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 7 to 8 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs of the 1960s. Their alignment is roughly cross-contour and they are interpreted as banks for fruit tree planting, which are likely to be post-medieval to 19th century in date. The field was depicted as orchard on the late-19th century Ordnance Survey 25 inch mapping and the orchard remained planted into the med 20th century. The banks are not visible on digital images derived from lidar data captured in 2005 and have probably been levelled.
