Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1950, to the northeast of Yeo Farm. The site of the orchard is listed on the Halberton parish tithe apportionment of approximately 1838-48, although by 1950, aerial photographs show that the orchard trees have been completely grubbed out, leaving a series of parallel northeast to southwest aligned earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established, visible. The banks occupy an area of 0.21 hectares of fairly level land within a single rectilinear shaped plot depicted on historical mapping. The orchard banks are not clearly visible on aerial photographs or digital images after 1950 and their survival is uncertain.
