Parallel earthwork ridges, circa 4m wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and digital images derived from aerial photographs captured in 2014, at West Ogwell Barton, Ogwell. The visible banks are closely spaced and are aligned across the contours of the southeast facing slope, occupying an area of approximately 0.85 hectares. The earthworks correspond with an orchard shown in this location on the Parish Tithe Map of the mid-19th century. This supports the interpretation they are possible tree planting banks of a post-medieval or early 19th century orchard, the fruit trees being established on the earthworks for increased soil depth and improved drainage. The orchard is not shown on the late 19th century First Edition Ordnance Survey map and so had evidently been cleared by this time.
