Parallel linear earthwork banks, circa 3.5 metres in width, are visible on images derived from lidar data captured between 1998 and 2014. Their broadly cross-contour orientation is indicative of tree planting banks that were common in orchards of post-medieval or 19th century date. This area is not depicted as orchard on the Tithe map suggesting that it was no longer in use as an orchard at this time.
