Possible tree-planting banks of a former post-medieval to 19th century orchard are visible as a series of linear earthwork banks on aerial photographs of 1989 and digital images derived from lidar data captured between 1998-2014, at Hillmoor, Culmstock. An orchard is depicted here on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of between the 1880’s-90’s. Aerial photographs of 1947 show that the orchard remains largely covered in fruit trees, although by 1989, these have been completely cleared, leaving a series of parallel northwest to southeast aligned earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established, visible. These banks occupy an area of approximately 0.14 hectares of gentle northwest facing slope, within a single plot depicted on the First Edition OS map.
