Summary
Parallel linear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and 1947, are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century tree planting banks that went out of use by the late-19th century. They are not visible on later available imagery and may have been levelled.

Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 3.5 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 and only indistinctly by 1947. The earthworks are aligned cross-contour, and are interpreted as tree planting banks, of probable post-medieval or 19th century date. No orchard is depicted here on the available historic mapping, although nearby orchards are depicted (e.g. MDV113402), and any orchard here presumably went out of use by the late-19th century. They are not visible on later available imagery and may have been levelled.
