Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, to the north of Woodmanton. An orchard is symbolised here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s, although by 1946, aerial photographs show that the orchard trees have been completely grubbed up, leaving a series of parallel northwest to southeast aligned earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established, visible. These banks occupy an area of approximately 0.35 hectares of gentle northwest facing slope, within a single irregular shaped plot. The orchard banks remain visible on aerial photographs of 1989, although their survival after this date is uncertain.
