Summary

Parallel linear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 onwards and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014, correspond to an area depicted as orchard on the late-19th century mapping. They are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century tree planting banks.

Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 3 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken from 1946 and on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. Their location corresponds to a field within which orchard trees are depicted on the late-19th century OS maps and orchard trees are visible on the 1940s aerial photographs. The earthworks are aligned cross-contour, and are interpreted as tree planting banks or terraces, of probable post-medieval or 19th century date, that went out of use in the 20th century.
