Orchard banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on Lidar-derived images of 2005, at Westcott Farmhouse.

Aerial photographs of 1989 show that the orchard trees have been completely grubbed up, although the orchard banks, on which the fruit trees were established, are not clearly visible, other than on Lidar images.
