Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 3.5 metres in width, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured in 2010. This field to the west of Dulford is depicted as orchard on the late-19th century mapping, and the cross-contour alignment of the banks supports an interpretation as banks for fruit tree planting, which are likely to be post-medieval or 19th century in date. The banks are visible as pale cropmarks on aerial photographs taken in 2010.
