Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1950 onwards, at Brown’s Bridge. The site of the orchard is first symbolised on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s, although by 1950, aerial photographs show that the orchard trees have been completely grubbed out, leaving a series of parallel east to west aligned earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established, visible. The banks occupy an area of approximately 0.76 hectares of fairly level land, within two adjacent plots depicted on historical maps. The orchard banks remain visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010.
