Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1996 onwards, at Cott Farm. The site of the orchard is first symbolised on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. The earthworks comprise a series of short northeast to southwest aligned banks which occupy an area of approximately 0.06 hectares of fairly level land, within a single rectilinear shaped plot depicted on historical mapping. The earthwork banks remain visible on digital images derived from Lidar data captured between 2005 and 2010.
