Earthwork banks of probable post-medieval to modern date are visible on aerial photographs of 1946 and 1947, to the east of Culm Davy House. The earthworks, which are northwest to southeast aligned and occupy an area of approximately 0.64 hectares of gentle southeast facing slope, may represent the remains of 18th-19th agricultural improvement or represent the site of a former orchard, the banks providing improved drainage and increased soil depth for the fruit trees. The earthwork banks were not visible on aerial photographs after 1947 and may have since been completely levelled.
