Name: | Former Orchard and Orchard Banks South of Clyst St George |

Summary
Parallel linear earthwork banks, visible on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1979, are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century tree planting banks that went out of use in the late-19th century. Most are not visible on later available imagery and may have been levelled.

Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 4 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken between 1946 and 1969. Their location corresponds to three fields depicted on the late-19th century mapping, with an irregular area of orchard trees depicted within one of these. The earthworks are aligned cross-contour, and are interpreted as tree planting banks of probable post-medieval or 19th century date. No trees are depicted here on the early-20th century OS maps, and they had presumably fallen out of use by this time. The construction of the road through this area has impacted the earthworks, and the area south of the road appears to have been levelled. However a small part survives as earthworks north of the road visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014.
