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 1971 and digital images of 2010, to the west of lower Ashculm. An orchard is depicted here on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map of between the 1880’s-90’s. Aerial photographs of 1947 show that the orchard trees have been partly cleared, although the earthwork banks, on which the fruit trees were established, are not visible until aerial photographs of 1971. The earthworks are northnorthwest to southsoutheast aligned and occupy an area of approximately 0.20 hectares of southeast facing slope, within a single L-shaped plot.
