Earthwork banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards, at Glebe Cottages. The earthworks are east to west and northwest to southeast aligned and occupy an area of approximately 0.97 hectares of gentle west facing slope. The earthworks may represent 18th-19th century cultivation banks or indicate the site of a former orchard, the banks providing increased soil depth and improved drainage for the orchard trees. The earthworks are visible as a series of banks on aerial photographs up until 1966, although appear to have been levelled sometime after this date.
