Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1989 onwards, to the north of Lower Town, Halberton. The site of the orchard is first symbolised on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s and the site remains largely covered with orchard trees on aerial photographs up until 1984, although the earthwork banks, upon which the fruit trees were established, are not visible. The orchard banks are, however, visible on aerial photographs of 1989. They comprise a series of linear north to south aligned earthwork banks which occupy an area of approximately 0.56 hectares of southeast facing slope, within a single plot depicted on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map. The orchard banks remain visible as a series of earthwork banks on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010.
