Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 5 metres wide, are visible on aerial photographs taken in the 1950s and 1960s. They correspond to a field depicted as orchard on the late-19th century OS maps, and are interpreted as post-medieval or 19th century orchard banks. Trees were still present in 1969, but have been removed since then.
