Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1996 onwards, to the east of Bycott Farm, Halberton. The site of the orchard is symbolised on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. The site of the orchard remains largely covered with fruit trees up until aerial photographs of 1996 when they appear to have been thinned out, exposing traces of a series of linear earthwork banks. The earthworks, which are more clearly visible on Lidar images of between 2005 and 2010, are northeast to southwest aligned and cover an area of approximately 0.37 hectares of fairly level land, within a small irregular shaped plot.
