Summary
Parallel linear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946, correspond to an area depicted as orchard on the early-20th century but not late-19th century mapping. They are interpreted as late-19th or early-20th century tree planting banks of a short-lived orchard. The area has since been developed.

Parallel linear earthwork banks, covering approximately a third of a hectare and circa 4 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. Their location corresponds to a small field east of Alphington within which orchard trees are depicted on the early-20th century maps. The earthworks are aligned broadly cross-contour, and are interpreted as tree planting banks. The field is not depicted as orchard on the late-19th century mapping, and this may be a very late 19th century or early-20th century orchard; it appears to have been short-lived since no trees are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946. The area has since been developed and no remains are likely to survive.
